Print Porcelain Plaque Last Supper Painting after Leonardo in Carved Wood Frame

early 20th century

About the Item

A lovely early 20th century printed porcelain miniature of The last supper painting after Leonardo Da Vinci in Italian Cenacolo. This Swiss French manufacture rectangular porcelain plaque, depicting one of the most important Renaissance works of art, is housed in a wonderful wood frame finely carved with geometrical motifs. The porcelain has an impressed clay mark number 107 left low verso and there is the original retailers sticker to the reverse of the plaque for - A L' Industrie Suisse, Maurice Bloch Geneve- a noted high end retailer of art and bijouterie. Maurice Bloch was a Jewish merchant and artisan who made and sold tourist goods including cuckoo clocks in Geneva, Switzerland in the 1800's. His third child was Ernest Bloch (b. 1881) who became one of the great American Classical composers of the 20th century. Maurice Bloch died in 1913. A little history to add to this well made reproduction of one of the world's most recognizable Italian mural painting. A very nice piece that will make a great addition to your collection, perfect as a vitrine object or to hang on the wall. The plaque is in very good order with no obvious scratches or rubbing. The Last Supper, Italian Cenacolo, one of the most famous artworks in the world, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci probably between 1495 and 1498 for the Dominican monastery Santa Maria della Grazie in Milan. It depicts the dramatic scene described in several closely connected moments in the Gospels. The theme of the work is given by the Christians at the last meal that Jesus Christ took with the Twelve Apostles on the evening of Holy Thursday, in which Jesus declares that one of the Apostles will betray him. Each one of the 12 disciples reacts in a manner that Leonardo considered fit for that man’s personality. The result is a complex study of varied human emotion, rendered in a deceptively simple composition. H 18 cm x W 23 cm x D 3 cm

  • Ram's Head Contemporary Plaster Sculpture with Green Patina Ancient Rome Style
    Located in Firenze, IT
    This contemporary plaster sculpture of a ram’s head is inspired by the art of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece with a reference to Neoclassicism and Neoclassical period old masters, when the discoveries of archaeological sites became the focal point in art history between the 18th and 19th century. The artist is able to attribute incredible details to this work of art featuring a majestic appearance due to its large curling ridged horns. This animal figurative work of art is sculpted on the round, the artist took inspiration both from his imagination and archaic reminiscences. He modeled the inert chalk creating an animal with very real facial expression and incredible realistic features with intricate detailed head. This sculpture is the plaster cast hand modeled by the artist that served him as a reference model to create a bronze sculpture with the lost wax technique, also the bronze version is on sale on my page. So it represents the first phase of a fascinating and long process of creating sculptural art, a studio piece made as a maquette before a bronze version was cast. The present aries' head sculpture has been painted to simulate the green patina that archaeological metal sculptures take over the centuries. Two green patina sculptures...

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
