Bust of Baron Antonio Negri
About the Item
Bust of a nobleman in white marble signed and dated 1837. The portrayed is the Baron Antonio Paolo Negri. The bust has a celebratory character, as per the customs of the time and therefore made with larger dimensions than the real ones. The face is slightly inclined, the gaze fixed and proud: the severe and haughty expression recalls the heroic atmosphere of the Napoleonic age. The face is elongated and well proportioned. The "Brutus" hairstyle, with short hair and irregular fringe on the forehead, is soft and finely crafted. The forehead is high and spacious, wrinkled and marked by time. The prominent, pronounced nose is a typical expression of the subject's virility and might. The mouth is tight, the lips thin: no emotion shines through. The oval of the face is accentuated by the pronounced chin with dimple. The figure is composed and refined, both in the rendering of the somatic features and in that of the clothes. The Baron's clothing recalls the typical canons of the time: shirt with stand-up collar and raised points, tie tied to a gala and cape with long collars with ermine brim. To highlight the refinement and plasticity in the creation of the bow of the tie and in the rendering of the collar of the overcoat, to recall the softness of furs. On the chest the symbols of the honors of the noble, member of the legion of honor and knight of the order of the Iron Crown: the star with five bifurcated rays, surmounted by a crown, is pinned on the left side of the chest; the coat of arms of the order of the Iron Crown, with iron horns surmounted by a double-headed eagle, is instead hanging around the neck. The bust, coming from Villa Negri in Casinetta di Lugagnano, recalls a painting owned by the family in which the Baron himself is represented in official clothes. As President of the Court of Cassation he is depicted wearing a red toga edged in ermine, a tie tied to a gala and a jacket. The coat of arms of the Legion of Honor is clearly visible, pinned on the left side of the chest, with a red ribbon, and that of the Order of the Iron Crown, hanging around the neck with a yellow ribbon edged with green. On the painting, the noble coat of arms of the Negri family appears at the top left: “Porta split semipartito in capo; first, silver with a raven resting on a black wheel; second, Franco de 'Baroni drawn from the Court of Cassation which is red with a silver balance moving from the high point of the head; above the blue with two black books placed in the band "(ref. Archive ...).
