An antique Carrara marble sculpture “Venus Italica” after Antonio Canova (1757-1822) Made in Italy during the 19th century. When the Medici Venus was forcibly removed from the Tribuna of the Uffizi by Napoleon’s forces, King Louis I of Etruria commissioned Antonio Canova to replace the figure. True to nature, Canova submitted a wholly original figure to rival the antiquity, despite originally being asked to sculpt a copy. Canova’s Venus...

A Very Fine, Large and Charming Italian Late 19th to early 20th-Century Carrara Marble Sculpture Group Titled “The Village Celebration” by Professor Antonio Garella (Italian, 1863-1919). The intricately, impressive and exceptionally carved statuary marble group depicting a joyful dancing and singing group of Italian villagers, in a lively embrace, holding hands and arms. The happy celebratory scene includes a figure playing an accordion, another holding a wicker basket, and a hunter with a rifle slung over his back, accompanied by his hunting dog. The sculpture is elegantly mounted on a swiveling, carved green marble pedestal. Signed: Profre A. Garella – Galleria P. Bazzanti, Firenze. Circa: Florence, 1900. Antonio Giuseppe Garella (1863–1919) was an Italian sculptor renowned for his work in marble, alabaster, and bronze during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Ferrara (some sources cite Bologna), he trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and in Bologna before establishing himself in Florence, where he became a prominent figure in the city’s artistic community. Often referred to as "Professor Antonio Garella," he was closely associated with the Galleria P. Bazzanti, a prestigious hub for sculpture sales and exhibitions. Garella’s career spanned the fin-de-siècle period, blending neoclassical influences with romantic, narrative themes inspired by everyday Italian life and classical antiquity. His sculptures, known for their intricate carving and emotional expressiveness, include lively portrayals, as seen in The Village Celebration. Other notable works include The Love Letter, a white marble figure of a young woman reading, evoking tender emotion; La Notte (The Night), a nude sculpture of a flying maiden above an orb; Diane of Gabii, a life-size marble inspired by classical antiquity; and Apollo and Daphne, a large marble sculpture modeled after Gianlorenzo Bernini’s 17th-century masterpiece in the Borghese Villa, Rome. In Apollo and Daphne, drawn from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Garella captures the myth of the chaste nymph Daphne, pursued by the young god Apollo, who is bewitched by Cupid to fall in love with her. As Daphne prays to her river-god father to escape Apollo’s advances, she transforms into a laurel tree. Garella, like Bernini, sensitively carves Daphne’s feet and hands morphing into leaves and branches, while Ovid notes that Apollo can still feel her heart beating beneath the bark. Garella’s monumental commissions further highlight his prominence, including a 1904 statue of Garibaldi in Pistoia and two statues, L’Architettura and La Musica, for the Vittorio Emanuele II Monument in Rome. Though not as celebrated as Antonio Canova (1757–1822), Garella significantly contributed to Florence’s marble sculpture tradition, bridging academic styles with emerging 20th-century trends and influencing decorative arts. His masterpieces, often crafted through ateliers like Galleria P. Bazzanti, remain highly valued in European and American private collections, with limited auction records due to their scarcity in the antiques trade market. Related Literature: A.

"Highland Mary" (also known as Highland Mary or a portrait of Mary Campbell) Carved White Marble Sculpure by Benjamin Edward Spence (British, 1822–1866). A fine full-length, life-size neoclassical carved statue depicts the subject of Robert Burns’s poem Highland Mary (Mary Campbell), shown as a young woman standing in a contemplative pose. The sensual carved figure with a gentle contrapposto stance, weight resting on her left leg, right foot slightly advanced, and her head tilted downward with a solemn, introspective gaze. Her hair is centrally parted and styled in soft classical waves framing the face. She wears a long, fitted floor-length gown with a buttoned bodice and full skirt falling in graceful folds, over which is draped an asymmetrically arranged, heavily fringed plaid shawl (tartan implied through carved texture). Both hands are clasped together at her chest in a reflective gesture, fingers gently interlaced. She wears simple low-heeled slippers. The sculpture stands on a plain circular marble plinth. The work exhibits the refined carving and smooth finish characteristic of Spence’s mid-19th-century neoclassical style, with particular attention to the soft drapery, fringe details, and textural contrast between fabric and skin. Multiple versions of Highland Mary are known (including examples in the Royal Collection, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and Sefton Park Palm House), with minor variations in pose and attributes; the present example corresponds to the clasped-hands composition. Signed: B.E. SPENCE Ft. ROMAE - 1862 Provenance / Literature note: Frequently exhibited and replicated during the Victorian period as one of Spence’s most celebrated works, inspired by the tragic romance between Mary Campbell and the poet Robert Burns. Benjamin Edward Spence (1822–1866) was a 19th century English sculptor, who spent much of his professional life in Italy. He was born in Liverpool in December 1822, the son of William Spence, a sculptor who later in life became a partner in a business house in Liverpool, and gave up the profession. In 1846 he was awarded the Heywood silver medal and a cash prize by the Royal Manchester Institution for a group in clay of the death of the Duke of York at the battle of Agincourt. His father was persuaded by John Gibson to send Edward to Rome. There he entered the studio of Richard James Wyatt, and also received help from Gibson. He died at Livorno (then known as Leghorn) on 21 October 1866. Between 1849 and 1867 Spence contributed to the exhibition of the Royal Academy five times: in 1850 with "Ophelia", in 1856 "Venus and Cupid", in 1861 "Hippolytus", and in 1867 "The Parting of Hector and Andromache". He contributed "Highland Mary" to the Exposition Universelle 1855, and two works, "Finding of Moses" and "Jeanie Deans before Queen Caroline", to the International Exhibition 1862. A number works of his that were not exhibited in England were engraved for the Art Journal. Works: • Highland Mary 1853, Buckingham Palace • Venus and Cupid, Philadelphia Museum of Art • Statue of Lavinia for Mr Holmes of Liverpool (1849) • Statue of Ophelia for Thomas Brassey MP (1850) • Tomb of Richard James Wyatt in the Protestant Cemetery, Rome (1851) • Highland Mary at Osborne House (1854) • Bas relief in a monument to Ann Catherine Jane Smith...

A fine pair of George III statuary marble busts of a boy and a girl by John de Vaere (1755 – 1830), 1798. Signed J DE-VAERE Sculpr. 1798. Considering what a sensitive and accomplished sculptor he was, surprisingly little is known about John de Vaere. Born in France in 1755, he settled in England some time before 1786 when he enrolled as a student at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1787 he left to study in Rome, with the financial assistance of Josiah Wedgwood. In Rome he won a Silver Medal for Sculpture from the Pope and became an assistant to John Flaxman. On his return to England in 1790, he worked as a modeler for Wedgwood until the latter’s death in 1795, after which he worked with Eleanor Coade, probably replacing John Bacon...
