About the Item

A very beautiful and elegant sculpture of a nymph, carved in Italy and with the typical character and signs of the artworks made in Florence in the 19th century. This huge and impressive for the quality of the carving sculpture is attributed to the Italian Master Pasquale Romanelli; the style and the hand of the great Artist could be recognizable if this artwork will be compared, for example with the Nymph sold at Sothebys, lot 48 "19th & 20th century sculpture sale", London 13 december 2017. Pasquale Romanelli (Florence, May 28, 1812 – Feb 11th 1887) was an Italian sculptor, apprentice of Lorenzo Bartolini. Father to Raffaello Romanelli and grandfather to Romano Romanelli, Pasquale was the first generation of what became a family dynasty of reputed Florentine sculptors. Pasquale entered an apprenticeship in a studio producing alabaster sculptures, studying in his free time and reading every book he could procure. Alabaster, or Castellina marble, being much softer to carve than other marbles, makes it a very good material with which to begin learning the required sculpting techniques. Pasquale made such progress that soon, at barely 15 years old, he joined the apprentices in the studio of Luigi Pampaloni, in Piazza San Marco, who trained him in the skills of working Carrara statuary marble. He was quickly promoted to assisting the master in the carving of the statues of Arnolfo di Cambio and of Filippo Brunelleschi, now placed in the Piazza del Duomo in Florence. Pasquale’s skill was such that the already famous Lorenzo Bartolini, professor of sculpture at the Accademia delle Belli Arti di Firenze, invited him to enter his studio in Borgo San Frediano and to attend his courses at the academy. He became Bartolini’s most gifted pupil and certain commissions were passed-on to him. Pasquale worked on the statue of Francesco Ferrucci 1847, which was then placed in an alcove of the loggiato of the Uffizi Gallery in Piazza della Signoria. He soon opened a studio of his own.
