Pair Gilt Bronze Andirons in the Style of Andrea Briosco (Riccio)
About the Item
These highly articulated gilt bronze andirons are based on a 16th century design for candlesticks by the great Italian renaissance sculptor Andrea Briosco known as Riccio (1470-1532). Riccio's great masterpiece is the Paschal candelabrum in the cathedral of Padua which contained mythological creatures, satyrs and grotesques. Despite the shocking motifs, the church of Sant Antonio installed the candelabrum on its high altar as a symbol of the reconciliation of the Christian world with antiquity.
At the triangular corners of the base are figures of satyrs, modeled in full relief, seated with their hands bound behind their backs. The feet are formed of three bearded masks placed at each corner connected by characteristic swags and shells.
The Wallace Collection (London) has a triangular bronze inkstand of similar form to the base of these andirons.
