About the Item

Nineteenth century Young woman portrait Measures: Plaster, 50 x 40 x H 40 cm Dated 10 - 1 - MCMI The emergence of a "disheveled manner" in sculpture is affirmed since the 1880s with Giuseppe Grandi, author of the Monument to the Five Days of Milan, Ernesto Bazzaro, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Leonardo Bistolfi up to the total formal dissolution of Medardo Rosso. In the analyzed sculpture the recovery of an intense colorism that creates the shapes by approximation, with a suggestive play of light and shadow is clearly visible. The process of diluting the form is here implemented through material fades that abolish the contours and the drawing, comparable with the evanescent painting of Cremona and the sensual and intimate luminism of Daniele Ranzoni, the two greatest exponents of the pictorial Scapigliatura. The research present in this sculpture forgets the neoclassical smoothness and the clarity of romantic art, looking for effects of pictorial luminism and elaborating a personal sculptural modeling with vibrant and lively ways. The position of anti-academic renewal of the Scapigliatura is here identifiable in the form of a very lively and vibrant model, comparable with the works of Paolo Troubetzkoy and Medardo Rosso. The investigation of the real datum can be found in the care reserved for the creation of the portrait of the young woman, not an idealized image, but a representation that adheres to the truth, where the small defects of the face are not masked, but reported with pride and coherence.

19th Century Cesare Beccaria Bronze Sculpture
Located in Milan, IT
19th Century. Cesare Beccaria Bronze, 49 x 13 x 15 cm The bronze statue examined faithfully reproduces the famous Milanese monument by Giuseppe Grandi (1843-1894) dedicated to Cesare Beccaria.

The marble became part of the collections of the Gallery of Modern Art and is now located inside the Palazzo di Giustizia in Milan. The initiative regarding the erection of a monument dedicated to Cesare Beccaria originates in 1865, in support of the proposed abolition of the death penalty...
