Stunning, Large and Hand Carved Renaissance Revival Court Jester Sculpture
About the Item
Marvelous antique French jester sculpture.
This large and amazing sculpture of a sitting court jester in the Renaissance Style truly is a rare find. The incredible details in the clothes, his facial features and his perfect body posture tell us that this can only be the work of a master carver. The large size makes this work of art extra rare and impressive, but what makes this jester really stand out from anything you ever saw, is the sinister look on his face. Although often referred to as 'fools', court jesters, just like modern day entertainers, often were exactly the opposite. Their higher than average intelligence and their storytelling, musical and acrobatic skills actually made them highly appreciated and all round entertainers that became members of the household of a nobleman or monarch. It is our belief that this majestic jester is in the middle of telling a gripping story, keeping his audience captivated not only with his story and voice, but also with the sinister expression on his face. Possibly ending his story with a smart joke that will have his audience burst into laughter. The patina on this top quality carved and meaningful sculpture makes it even more attractive. In our images he is holding candles and with those lit in the evenings this jester will look awesome, no matter where you decide to put him on display. We can also provide electrical candles or small lanterns that will be professionally wired for safe and immediate usage the world over.
