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 Pair of Desks with portraits of Petrarch and Leonardo AlabasterLocated in Milan, IT19th century Pair of desks with portraits of Petrarch and Leonardo (2) Alabaster, 34 and 35 cm diam The pair of alabaster discs features a central cameo with the effigy of Petrarch and Leonardo, probably part of a larger series that featured illustrious characters from Italian history. On the openwork frame of Petrarch there are portraits of some characters who face each other, combined for centuries, as can be seen from the shapes of the garments that span several centuries: from the thirteenth century, in which men wear long-tipped bonnets, to the fifteenth century and Sixteenth century, the two characters at the top, in the seventeenth century, with wide collars, up to the eighteenth century. Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) embodies the figure of the humanist intellectual par excellence, entirely dedicated to the study of Latin conceived as the only form of expression worthy of a man of letters, so as to serve any form of written communication, including letters and the reflection on himself witnessed in the Secretum. A personality made more complex by obsessive perfectionism, which led him to a continuous and infinite editing of the work which he also flaunted to consider as minor and which instead ensured him an undying fame among posterity, the Canzoniere. But the only aspect fixed in the collective imagination is that of the lover who idolizes the places where his ideal love blossomed...Category

- 19th Century Madonna and Child with Souls in Purgatory Papier-Mache SculptureLocated in Milan, ITFirst half of the 19th century Madonna and Child with souls in Purgatory Lacquered and gilded papier-mache with polychrome wooden base cm 96.5 x 37.5 x 28 "At that time I asked the Lord Jesus: 'For whom do I still have to pray?'. Jesus answered me that the following night he would make me known for whom I had to pray. I saw the Custodian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. At a moment I found myself in a foggy place, invaded by fire and, in it, a huge crowd of suffering souls. These souls pray with great fervour, but without effectiveness for themselves: only we can help them. The flames that burned them, they did not touch me. My Guardian Angel did not abandon me for a moment. And I asked those souls what their greatest torment was. And they unanimously answered me that their greatest torment is the ardent desire of God. I read the Madonna who visited the souls of Purgatory. The souls call Mary 'Star of the Sea'. She brings them refreshment ". (Diary of Sister Faustina Kowalska p. 11) A Polish religious, Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) reinterpreted in the pages of her testimony the ancient role of the Virgin as savior and supporter of the souls of Purgatory. The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council established that, assumed into Heaven, the Mother of God should operate a continuous intercession in favor of those children waiting for Paradise who were in the place, quoted for the first time by Pope Gregory the Great...Category
