Antique Bronzed Terracotta Bust of Dante

About the Item

An antique bronzed terracotta bust of Dante. In Renaissance style and a desirable scale, this bust would make a striking decorative piece for any period property, particularly for those looking to appreciate Italian history. At over 140 years old, the bronzed terracotta gives this bust a characterful time worn look accompanied by its integral socle. The bust is marked ‘Dan’ to its left shoulder, ’Tes’ on the right, and '727 R’ to the back. Dante Dante, or Dantes as the bust reads, was an Italian writer and very important figure in the Renaissance. Though he died in 1321, Dante’s works have lived on throughout the centuries, his epic poem ‘La Commedia’ (also known as ‘The Divine Comedy’) considered one of the world’s greatest works of literature. It was the first that influenced the Renaissance and the first work with a personal interpretation since the fall of Rome. It signified the conclusion of the Middle Ages and rise of the Renaissance, concluding all humans are rational beings. Dante is often depicted with the same wise facial expression and Renaissance style head piece as he is in this bust.
