"Cavallo" Bronze on Marble by Claudio Nicoli '1958-'

About the Item

This sculpture by Claudio Nicoli portrays an astute horse balanced on one front leg. The scattered application of patina gives the appearance of a rich texture. It is secured onto a marble base. The piece is signed by Nicoli on the back of the sculpture and is numbered 2/6. Born in San Giovanni in Persiceto in 1958, Caludio Nicoli started sculpting at a young age. Combining his passion for horses with his artistic skill, Nicoli prefers to work with terra cotta and bronze, producing sculptures and bas reliefs. His sculptures reflect a mix of surreal elements with classical themes. He has had a number off public commissions including sculptures and bas reliefs for The Municipality of Castenaso, The Franciscan Brothers of the La Verna Monestary, and the Santa Chiara Hospital in Trenton for which he was nationally recognized. He currently lives and works in Castiglione del Lago, in Umbria, close to Perugia.

  • Unique Bronze Guitar Player by Marchello Mascherini
    By M. Mascherini
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    This is a unique bronze piece, not editioned, by Marchello Mascherini of a seated figure on a stool playing a guitar. One may interpret the figure as singing as his mouth is open. The figure and the guitar blend and become one in areas, creating ambiguity of definition in the piece. The patina is a deep chocolate brown. The base of the sculpture is marble and measures 3.25" X 3.25". The original tag is still present on the underside of the base, but has faded and is not completely legible. It is signed "M. Mascherini" on one of the legs of the stool. This is definitely a piece worthy of joining any art collection. Marchello Mascherini was born in Udine, Italy, in 1906. He moved to Isernia, the central-southern region of Molise, where he first began learning about sculpture in the local workshops of the area. He finished his education at the Regia Scuola d’arte and moved on to the Istituto Industriale “Alessandro Volta” in the spring of 1921 focussing on ornamental sculpture. His first one-man show took place at Circolo Alessandro Manzoni...
