The sculpture Woman Laying depicts a nude woman in a pose of serene introspection. Modeled with careful attention to proportions and a naturalistic rendering of the body, it conveys a sense of composure and dignity. Rooted in Tuscan tradition, the piece also evokes poetic inspiration from the Etruscan era, imbuing the figure with an archaic and timeless elegance. Rossi masterfully blends realism with delicate stylization, achieving harmony and balance in the composition.

Uniqueness: Unique piece, reflecting Rossi's artistic maturity and his original interpretation of the female nude.
Biography of Giorgio Rossi
Giorgio Rossi (1894-1981) was an Italian sculptor whose works combine meditative realism and archaic influences, firmly positioned within the Tuscan figurative tradition of the early 20th century. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence under Antonio Bortone, Rossi developed a style marked by intense formal research and modern sensibilities, showing clear affinities with the poetics of Libero Andreotti.
His sculptures, often created in terracotta or alabaster, express a powerful emotional charge through a sober and essential language. Rossi participated in major national exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (17th edition in 1930 and 20th edition in 1936), showcasing works such as Head of a Fat Man and Young Woman. He also exhibited regularly at art shows in Tuscany and other Italian institutions, including the Tuscan Syndicate Exhibitions and the Sacred Art Exhibition.
For nearly thirty years, Rossi taught drawing and sculpture at the Artistic and Industrial School of Volterra, influencing generations of artists and leaving a lasting impact on the local cultural scene. His works, preserved by his descendants, highlight the depth and complexity of an artistic journey grounded in an intimate and humanistic vision of art.

Antoniucci Volti
1915-1989
Sculptor, painter, and printmaker Antoniucci Volti was born in Albano, Italy, in 1915. His family lived in Italy until 1920 when the family moved to France.
Volti studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Nice from 1928 to 1920. By 1932 the young artist had won a gold medal for two polychrome bas-reliefs before going to Paris, where he entered the studio of Jean Boucher at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of only fifteen.
After serving in the Second World War, when he was interned as a prisoner of war in Bavaria, he returned in poor health to Paris, only to find his studio destroyed.
From 1947 he showed work at various Paris Salons and, in 1954 and 1955 at the Brussels and Antwerp Biennales. In 1957 a retrospective of his work was organized at the Museum Rodin in Paris.
He died in Paris in 1989 Works by Volti are in leading museums such as the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris. Antoniucci Volti is one of the most important Late Modern...
