About the Item

Superb Italian Joan of Arc marble bust after Henri Chapu attributed to Professor Giuseppe Bessi from the Italian 19th century romantic period. In white alabaster and marble in grey, beige and black veined colors. Unique and rare composition due to the natural staining of the marble: her face turned towards the light and the stains a prophetic foreshadowing of her fate. Not signed. Very good condition. Dimensions in cm ( H x L x l ) : 56 x 44 x 30 Choice of secure shipping with MBE France or 1stDibs logistics. If you want MBE please send us a message and we will provide a quote for your destination. Professore Giuseppe Bessi worked in Voltera in Italy when the country was still fragmented into kingdoms. Bessi served as director of the School of Art in Volterra (1891-1910), where he taught until his death. He is considered one of the most important representatives of Italian salon sculpture. His works combine the forms of neoclassicism and Art Nouveau. Bessi's works in alabaster were exhibited at important expositions, including the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900, the International Exposition of Modern Decorative Art held in Turin en 1902, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (Saint Louis World's Fair) of 1904. Bessi received awards on various occasions, and his works were very successful on the international art market. Works by Bessi are in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg along with other museums such as the Ecomuseo dell'Alabastro in his native city. In Spain, the González Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts in Valencia holds a bust by Bessi titled Alba di Pace (Dawn of Peace) and in Chile the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes de Valparaíso has a sculptural composition The Kiss of Glory. Numerous works by Bessi are in private collections in the United States and have been shown in exhibitions in that country.
