Busts

Well portioned modernist sculpture of a woman in the early art deco style.. An intense face with strong chisel marks and fine detail… Circa early 20th century.

This is a white glazed and black clay raku fired ceramic bust. Though modern, this sculpture references Classical Greek and Roman antiquities. A subtle red glaze is used on the lips and the artist has purposefully and mysteriously left a portion around the neck between the head and the chest free of glaze, exposing the black clay beneath. The cracking on the surface is a result of the raku firing process and intended to be there. Pavel Amromin George, 2017 raku fired ceramic 17H x 15W x 9D in 43.18H x 38.10W x 22.86D cm Pavel G.

This striking vintage bust of a youthful Marcus Aurelius is a masterful example of Neoclassical revival design. Crafted from high-quality cast marble, the sculpture captures the serene expression and iconic, deeply textured curls synonymous with Greco-Roman antiquity. The smooth, polished finish of the bust provides a sophisticated contrast to the heavily distressed black wooden plinth upon which it rests. This intentional juxtaposition of classical form and rustic weathering makes it an ideal statement piece for those who appreciate a curated, academic aesthetic with a hint of bohemian flair. Measuring 8.5" wide, 8.5" deep, and 14.5" tall, this sculptural head is perfectly scaled to anchor a curated bookshelf, an entryway console, or an executive study. It is in great vintage condition, displaying minor surface scuffs and an authentic patina that only serves to enhance its storied character. The distressed finish on the base adds a layer of historic depth, suggesting a piece that has been cherished across generations. Whether anchoring a traditional gallery or adding a timeless touch to a modern home, this Marcus Aurelius bust...

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 28 cm Width: 16 cm Depth: 10 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition circa: 1890 Materials: Bronze Book Ref: Emmanuel Villanis by Josje Hortulanus-de Mik Page No: 79 SKU: 8775 ABOUT Sylvia Ballet - Silvia Sylvia, (the spelling is different in french) is a classical ballet. It features a nondescript mythical setting and a late nineteenth-century score, in which it's themes correlate to giving it a more classical feel, however, it was quite revolutionary for its time. The score was and still is recognized for its greatness. Delibes' work is certainly the best appreciated aspect of the ballet for its innovation, creativity, and maturity. Frederick Ashton's choreography complements the music very well in this respect, staying true to the spirit of the original production while incorporating modern techniques and adding his own unique touch. The ballet itself follows Sylvia who is a loyal follower of Diana (the goddess of the hunting and chassitity). The story starts with Sylvia being stalked by the diety Eros. When she discovers this they fire their bows at each other respectively. However only Eros's shot is true and wounds Sylvia. This is where she is kidnapped by an unknown assailant later revealed to be Orion. Sylvia escapes the caves of Orion by getting her captor intoxicated and pleading to Eros to rescue her. When he begrudgingly rescues her he takes her to the temple of Diana where her love awaits. This leads her to repeal her oath of Chassity taken as a follower of Diana. Emmanuel Villanis Emmanuel Villanis was an industrious man. He is believed to have created some 200 to 250 pieces. His oeuvre pre-eminently consisted of busts and full body statues. Most of these were manufactured in bronze, but there are also models in white metal and terra cotta. Different patinas were used. The bronzes were mainly cast by the Societé de Bronzes de Paris and can be recognised by the round stamp...
