17th century, Pair of Italian Baroque Walnut Sculptures

About the Item

17th century, Pair of Italian Baroque Walnut Sculptures Measures: H 104 X W 60 X D 30 cm The pair of sculptures was made in the Venetian area in Italy towards the end of the 17th century, in walnut wood, and depict two angels. The two figures, which are presented in natural wood, have an asexual physiognomy, characteristic of angels, spiritual beings, creatures of God able to appear under human guise. The long wavy hair rests on the bare shoulders. They are wrapped in a soft robe that rests on the arms and body creating moving draperies. Vaguely mirrored, they hold with their arms raised a drape that falls lightly, like air swelling, on the other arm. The figures, which turn their gaze towards the hand placed down, have the weight shifted on one leg, while the other knee is slightly bent: a dynamic posture and slightly genuflected, but graceful and elegant, which reminds a dance and gives movement to the two heavenly creatures. With a great decorative effect and good carving quality, they can be displayed in different environments, resulting very scenographic position slightly raised, above the bases, or above consoles and drawers. They can be placed in pairs or individually, even in the center of spaces, as the three-dimensionality and dynamics of the figures makes them usable also from secondary to frontal points of view. The sculptures rest on wooden bases, taken up with a golden painting. Over time the wings were removed. Some minor missing parts are reported.
