About the Item

Italian important 17th century small bronze technique lost wax "La Pietà" by STEFANO LANDI . Measures cm: H 20 x W x 20 x D 20 "La Pietà" was a very popular subject in the figurative arts, especially in painting and sculpture, especially during the Renaissance. Bronze in lost wax, a rare work by S. Landi. The author represents La Pietà, the biblical artistic theme and depicts Mary holding the lifeless body of Jesus Christ on her knees, after her passion and deposition. Mary of Sorrows places her gaze upwards, opens her arm in a state of desperation to God, while supporting the body of the dead Christ with the other. About LANDI, Stefano by Arnaldo Morelli - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 63 (2004) LANDI, Stefano. - He was born in Rome from Matteo di Antonio Mattei, a Shoemaker from Siena, and Cecilia from Fabio Landi, and he was baptized on February 26th. 1587 in the church of S. Giovanni dei Fiorentini. Left very young orphan of his father, the L. took very early mother's surname, probably in implementation of a testamentary provision of maternal grandfather Fabio Landi (Panofsky-Soergel, pp. 74-76). Fabio Landi, originally from Padua but residing in Rome at least since the mid-sixteenth century, was a well-known "antiquarian" and founder of medals.

Important German Pietà from the, 14th Century
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
IMPORTANT GERMAN PIETÀ FROM THE 14th CENTURY ORIGIN: GERMANY, REGION DE COLOGNE PERIOD: BEGINNING IF THE 14th CENTURY, ca. 1330 Height: 98 cm Length: 45 cm Depth: 33 cm Polychromed linden wood Good condition of conservation Provenance : particular Alsatian collection The theme of the Pietà or Vesperbild appears in Germany at the end of the 13th century, reflecting the mysticism of the late Middle Ages. Although the theme does not exist in the Gospels, it was often mentioned in contemporary devotional literature. Indeed, during the first half of the 14th century, mystical thought and devotional practices changed under the impulse of a number of religious, among them Heinrich Suso and St Bridget. In his writings, Suso placed important emphasis on contemplation and meditation in the footsteps of Christ's martyrdom. This will have great impact in the field of art, especially in Germany and later in France. The emphasis will from now on be on grief, death is shown in a straightforward way. The wounds of Christ are gaping and bloody. The suffering of Christ and the seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary are meditated upon. This piece demonstrates the interest of the faithful in these representations where pathos reigns. The virgin is represented seated in a frontal position. The bust is very elongated. She is wearing a red dress with a simple neckline and a blue mantel...
