Antonio Pandiani : "Menestrello

About the Item

Antonio PANDIANI (1838-1928, Italy) : "Menestrello" Exceptionnal nuanced dark brown patinated bronze cast Dimensions Height = 72 cm Width = 47 cm Depth = 30 cm Very good condition, great patina and particullary sharp and finely shizzeled bronze cast Provenance : Private collection, south of France. Condition report : Excellent state of conservation Cleaning carried out by a professional restorator beautifull original patination The dismantling and reassembly carried out by the restorator for cleaning does not reveal any inscription or marking. Note : Complete analysis file available upon request Exhibition of the work: 1877, Naples, Menestrello and Diavoletto, marble group. History of the work: A series of casts is made around the theme of the minstrel around the 1880s, executed in bronze from this period onwards, most probably in the Pandiani foundry, of which Antonio is also the director Comments: This is a particularly qualitative and very neat cast by A.Pandiani which bears neither signature, stamp nor foundry stamp, which is unusual in view of the edition of the sculptor's bronzes, usually stamped "A. PANDIANI MILANO" with sometimes a date Could it be the artist's model, or a model chef? In any case, it is a particularly closely watched cast (perhaps the sculptor's most accomplished as we observe slight variations for each comparable of this bust on the Art market) Other elements of analysis, such as the fact that the bust is not signed, that it is of better quality of execution than comparable examples on the market and of very slightly larger dimensions, and that it has an unusual assembly (visible screws) allowing the disassembly of the sculpture (perhaps for taking impressions to edit variants in particular), point us in one of these two hypotheses
