Giovanni Cappelletti - Buck and Doe Bronze on Marble Base
About the Item
Giovanni Cappeletti - A Wonderful Striking Bronze of Buck and Doe in a patinated Bronze standing on red marble. An exceptionally realistic, pleasing and sympathetic representation of the anatomy, the spirit and the connection of these animals and that his appreciation of the anatomy of his animals, his expert chiselling and patina was was truly reminiscent of the earlier French ‘animalier sculptors’ Many of his creations represent animals and suggest a devotion to the style and perfection of earlier French ‘animalier’ sculptors such as Bonheur, Barye and Mene. This work is an original, 4th casting by the foundry and art studio ‘Antonio Frilli’ of Florence, Italy. This was purchased from the sculptor and from whom this piece was ultimately commissioned and purchased by the family of the present owner in 1968. The piece is signed and with the name of foundry (as seen in pictures).
Born in Città di Castello (Perugia) in 1889, Cappelletti studied in Florence where he trained as a sculptor at the Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of Libero Andreotti. He successively worked with some of the most important names of the time and specialised in creating animals and subjects for fountains. His masterpieces also include a crèche embellished by a fine array of decorations. From 1939 to 1964 he worked with Fonderia Artistica Ferdinando Marinelli as sculptor and mould-modeller. He died in Florence in 1964.
