Odoardo Tabacchi Busts

1836-1905

Odoardo Tabacchi was born in Valganna on December 20, 1831, and died in Milan in 1905. Tabacchi studied at the Brera Academy in Milan from 1845 and then continued his studies in Rome, Florence and Naples. Settled in his studio in Milan from 1860–68, he created monumental sculptures accepting several important public commissions. Among his most important works from this period are the monument to Cavour in Milan (with Antonio Tantardini), the monument to Arnaldo da Brescia and the Cuzzetti and Sedaboni tombs in the Vantiniano cemetery in Brescia, Paleocapa, Garibaldi in Turin, Foscolo and equestrian monument to Umberto I, in Asti in Piazza Cairoli. In 1867, Tabacchi succeeded Vincenzo Vela to the chair of sculpture at the Albertina Academy and focused on smaller figurative sculpture, especially naturalistic genre scenes, which earned him great popularity. He exhibited widely in Italy and Paris and Vienna. Amongst his students, he counted: Giacomo Ginotti (1845–97), Pietro Canonica (1869–1959), Davide Calandra (1856–1915), Edoardo Rubino (1871–1954), Giuseppe Realini and the famous Leonardo Bistolfi (1859–1933).

19th Century Alabaster Sculpture After Falconet "La Baigneuse"
By Étienne Maurice Falconet
Located in LA CIOTAT, FR
This exquisite alabaster sculpture is a refined interpretation of "La Baigneuse" (The Bather), originally created by the renowned French sculptor Étienne-Maurice Falconet in the mid-18th century. Known for his delicate treatment of the female form and his ability to convey grace and sensuality with subtlety, Falconet’s Bather became one of the most iconic representations of neoclassical taste in the decorative arts. The figure is depicted nude, in a moment of quiet intimacy, holding a small sphere and resting one hand on a column draped with fabric. Her head is slightly bowed, and her gentle expression evokes a sense of introspection and softness. The figure’s elegant posture, with one leg subtly bent and the weight shifted delicately to the other, creates a harmonious balance and a fluid sense of movement. Carved in alabaster, the sculpture has a luminous, velvety surface that enhances the refined modeling of the body, the finely detailed hair, and the naturalistic folds of the drapery. This material lends the figure a timeless quality, echoing the marble originals of the 18th century while bringing its own delicate glow. This piece exemplifies the neoclassical fascination with antiquity, ideal beauty, and the private moments of mythological or allegorical figures. A beautiful addition to any collection, it brings the charm and elegance of 18th century French sculpture...
