Biography:
P. Emilio Fiaschi (1858 – 1941) was an Italian sculptor.[1] He was presumed to have been from Volterra. From 1883 to 1885, he studied at Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze[2] and spent most of his career in Florence, Italy. He was skilled in sculpting both marble and alabaster and most often produced female nudes, usually smaller than life-size figures. His female nudes featured highly polished skin and emphasized the curves of hips and waistlines. A partial list of his works include Le Printemps (marble on black marble pedestal, c1900-10) which sold for $25,000 at Christie's in New York on April 13, 2017,[3] Beatrice (marble), Courting Boy and Girl (white marble), Female nude partially draped (marble), A Good Book (marble), Reclining Beauty and Admirer (alabaster), Seated Maiden (Carved alabaster and marble), Standing Semi-Nude (marble), A Young Girl...
