Arturo Martini Sculptures
Italian, 1889-1947
Arturo Martini was an Italian sculptor and engraver. He studied ceramics in Faenza and sculpture in Treviso. His copious artistic production is characterized by immediate plasticity, halcyon inventiveness and thorough mastery of all technical processes like stone, bronze, terracotta, ceramics, etc. Whilst the artist preferred a primitive style in his earliest works, he then sought a simplification of volumes. With an admirable sense of style, he managed to be inspired by the most diverse Historic, Archaic, Etruscan, Romanesque and Baroque forms without losing originality of inventiveness, nor vitality of form. In his latest works, he abandoned sculpture in order to dedicate himself to painting. He was also an excellent illustrator and ceramist and created works of narrative spirit and decorative value.

Alabaster, marble

This is an exquisite pair of Italian alabaster lions on marble bases based on the monumental lions carved by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), the greatest Italian neoclassical sculptor. Canova sculpted the marble lions for the monumental tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter’s, Rome in 1792
Canova Lions refers to the pair of copies of lion sculptures by Antonio Canova. When Canova created the sculptures in 1792, he installed them on the tomb of Pope Clement XIII. The marble sculptures are some of the most prominent features in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
