About the Item
19th century Italian Diminutive Grand Tour Bronze Nude Athlete on Lapis -Lazuli Base
Italy, Attributed Naples Foundry, circa 1875
This 19th-century Italian bronze sculpture, attributed to the Naples Foundry, is a remarkable example of Grand Tour artwork. The sculpture depicts a standing nude athlete with arms outstretched towards the heavens, conveying a sense of strength and grace. The bronze sculpture, although unsigned, showcases the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail of the artist.
One of the notable features of this sculpture is the associated or possibly original lapis lazuli base. Lapis lazuli is a deep blue semi-precious stone known for its rich color and historical significance. The base adds to the aesthetic appeal of the sculpture, providing a beautiful and complementary foundation.
The lapis lazuli base bears an old inventory label that reads 'Lapis Lazuli Virarni,' indicating its historical origin or previous ownership. This label adds an intriguing element to the piece's provenance and history.
The sculpture and base are ready to be placed and enjoyed in any setting. The overall measurements, when combined, are approximately 4.75 inches in height and have a 2.75-inch square lapis lazuli base. The bronze sculpture alone measures approximately 4 inches in height and has a diameter of 1.5 inches. The lapis lazuli base alone measures 2.75 inches square and has a height of 0.75 inches.
This diminutive Grand Tour bronze sculpture with its associated lapis lazuli base represents the beauty and allure of 19th-century Italian art. It is a testament to the appreciation of classical aesthetics and the desire for cultural exploration during the Grand Tour era. The sculpture's timeless elegance and the inherent allure of lapis lazuli make it a captivating addition to any art collection or display.
