About the Item
Late 19th Century alabaster and bronze bust of Dante Alighieri on a green marble base. This is a beautiful antique marble and bronze bust of the famed late 13th to early 14th century Italian philosopher, writer and poet, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), sitting on a marble base.
Originating from late 19th/early 20th century Italy, this characterful bust depicts Dante as he is often portrayed in artistic works, wearing a cloak to his shoulders and cap to his head decorated with a laurel wreath, symbolising his prominent status as a poet.
Elevated by a green marble base inscribed DANTE, this antique alabaster and bronze Italian bust is a spectacular decorative piece for an interior, making a striking statement in any setting
Dante Alighieri was an Italian writer and a very important figure of the Renaissance period.
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.
This is an amazing piece in very good condition in two pieces, the bust sits on the marble base.
