Although when most people hear the word “gargoyle”, they probably envision small, winged creatures with grotesque visages. However, the phrase has a deeper meaning, encompassing any carved head (animal or human) that function as waterspouts. From the Early Renaissance (late 1400’s/early 1500’s), our gargoyle fountain spout features a human-like face with pointed ears, possibly representing a centaur or a satyr. The roughly rectangular block of marble was hand-carved in Arezzo, in the Tuscany region of Italy. All sides except the front of the cream-colored stone have a sawed finish, resulting in a rough texture. The back has been excavated, adding to the character of the gargoyle. A 1 ½” diameter hole has been cut all the way through, forming an open mouth of the gargoyle. The gaping mouth was often a symbol used to conjure images of devouring giants and used to remind people that they are susceptible to certain forces. Our 15th/16th century marble...

19th Century European Hercules Herm Architectural Carving Hand-carved wood, 42" high × 4" wide × 3.5" deep A finely carved wood architectural fragment in the form of a Herm of Hercules, dating to the 19th century and drawing upon Renaissance and Baroque precedents. The sculpture shows the muscular torso of a mature, bearded male figure with a deeply furrowed brow, curling hair, and a voluminous beard. His body is rendered in tapering herm form, with a draped cloth across the midsection leading into a long rectangular plinth decorated with foliate carving. The herm derives from classical antiquity, where stone posts surmounted by the head or bust of Hermes (and later other gods or heroes) served as boundary markers and architectural supports. During the Renaissance and Neoclassical revivals, this form was adapted into decorative architecture, furniture, and garden ornaments, often featuring heroic or mythological figures such as Hercules to convey strength and guardianship. The stern expression, powerful musculature, and prominent beard allude to Hercules, the archetype of heroic masculinity. Such carvings were often installed as newel posts, pilaster ornaments, or architectural appliqués...
