19th Century Madonna and Child with Souls in Purgatory Papier-Mache Sculpture

Madonna and Child with souls in Purgatory
Lacquered and gilded papier-mache with polychrome wooden base
cm 96.5 x 37.5 x 28
"At that time I asked the Lord Jesus: 'For whom do I still have to pray?'. Jesus answered me that the following night he would make me known for whom I had to pray. I saw the Custodian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. At a moment I found myself in a foggy place, invaded by fire and, in it, a huge crowd of suffering souls. These souls pray with great fervour, but without effectiveness for themselves: only we can help them. The flames that burned them, they did not touch me. My Guardian Angel did not abandon me for a moment. And I asked those souls what their greatest torment was. And they unanimously answered me that their greatest torment is the ardent desire of God. I read the Madonna who visited the souls of Purgatory. The souls call Mary 'Star of the Sea'. She brings them refreshment ".
(Diary of Sister Faustina Kowalska p. 11)
A Polish religious, Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) reinterpreted in the pages of her testimony the ancient role of the Virgin as savior and supporter of the souls of Purgatory. The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council established that, assumed into Heaven, the Mother of God should operate a continuous intercession in favor of those children waiting for Paradise who were in the place, quoted for the first time by Pope Gregory the Great...

19th Century Pair of Desks with portraits of Petrarch and Leonardo Alabaster
Located in Milan, IT
19th century
Pair of desks with portraits of Petrarch and Leonardo
(2) Alabaster, 34 and 35 cm diam
The pair of alabaster discs features a central cameo with the effigy of Petrarch and Leonardo, probably part of a larger series that featured illustrious characters from Italian history. On the openwork frame of Petrarch there are portraits of some characters who face each other, combined for centuries, as can be seen from the shapes of the garments that span several centuries: from the thirteenth century, in which men wear long-tipped bonnets, to the fifteenth century and Sixteenth century, the two characters at the top, in the seventeenth century, with wide collars, up to the eighteenth century.
Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) embodies the figure of the humanist intellectual par excellence, entirely dedicated to the study of Latin conceived as the only form of expression worthy of a man of letters, so as to serve any form of written communication, including letters and the reflection on himself witnessed in the Secretum. A personality made more complex by obsessive perfectionism, which led him to a continuous and infinite editing of the work which he also flaunted to consider as minor and which instead ensured him an undying fame among posterity, the Canzoniere. But the only aspect fixed in the collective imagination is that of the lover who idolizes the places where his ideal love blossomed...

18th Century Immaculate Conception with Saints Sculpture Marble
Located in Milan, IT
18th century
Immaculate Conception and saints
Marble, 60 x 50 x 9 cm
In the center of the marble oval we find an Immaculate Conception accompanied by St. Vincent Ferrer (identifiable thanks to the presence of the wings and the Dominican dress), and by two saints of difficult identification, one of them with a monastic habit.
The theme of the Immaculate Conception began to appear in artistic works ever since the debate began, which saw the Franciscans and the ramifications of the Benedictine Order lined up on one side, linked to the thought of Anselmo d'Aosta and Bonaventura da Bagnoregio, and on the other the Dominicans, linked to the discussion offered by Thomas Aquinas...

19th Century Cesare Beccaria Bronze Sculpture
Located in Milan, IT
19th Century.
Cesare Beccaria
Bronze, 49 x 13 x 15 cm
The bronze statue examined faithfully reproduces the famous Milanese monument by Giuseppe Grandi (1843-1894) dedicated to Cesare Beccaria. The work, from the top of a high base in white Montorfano granite, dominates the homonymous Milanese square, a sad stage for executions at the time of Austrian rule, in a bronze copy of 1914 to replace the original stone statue which already at the beginning of the new century showed serious signs of deterioration. The marble became part of the collections of the Gallery of Modern Art and is now located inside the Palazzo di Giustizia in Milan. The initiative regarding the erection of a monument dedicated to Cesare Beccaria originates in 1865, in support of the proposed abolition of the death penalty...

The sculpture depicting the crucified Christ examined here represents a refined example of seventeenth-century cabinetry in boxwood. The figure of Christ, now dead on the cross, is part of a precious artistic choreography with the structure of the cross and its pedestal, both decorated with tortoiseshell mirrors, ivory threads to emphasize the structure of the cross and elements in ebonized and carved wood to highlight the architectural structure of the pedestal.
The departure of Christ is evident from the lowered head, from the open hands...
