Bambina in Bronzo Scultura Italiana Intitolata NIVES di Eugenio Pellini 1900
By Eugenio Pellini
Located in Milan, IT
Eugenio Pellini Nives Primi 1900 fusione in bronzo a patina scura firmata dall’autore italiano lombardo E. Pellini (1864-1934) sul lato sinistro della base rettangolare; sul bordo frontale sempre in stampatello troviamo inciso il titolo, Nives, nome della figlia primogenita. In ottimo stato di conservazione, la scultura risale all’inizio Novecento e proviene da una collezione privata milanese. Appoggiata su di una base quadrata con un lieve incavo portaggetti nella parte anteriore, come fosse una scultura fermacarte, la bimba vestita con un camice ed una cuffia è ritratta intenta ad osservare un oggetto morbido, forse una bambola, che regge tra le mani.
Per l'esportazione dall'Italia di un oggetto d'arte che risale a più di 50 anni di età, va richiesta al Ministero dei Beni Culturali una licenza di esportazione chiamata BELLE ARTI. il rilascio di tale licenza governativa richiede un paio di settimane circa, da aggiungere ai tempi di evasione dell'ordine.
Eugenio Pellini nasce il 17 novembre 1864 a Marchirolo, a quei tempi in provincia di Como (oggi Varese) da Andrea e Carolina Pellini.Nel 1878 si trasferisce a Milano presso il fratello Oreste e inizia l’apprendistato nella bottega del marmista Biganzoli. Nel 1888 comincia a frequentare l’Accademia di Brera e realizza le prime opere significative, in particolare “Lo spazzacamino”. Il 10 novembre 1891 vince il Premio Triennale Oggioni, che prevede la specializzazione presso l’Accademia di Roma. Eugenio inizia così un lungo viaggio d’arte attraverso l’Italia, in un percorso che lo porterà a Firenze, Roma e in Sicilia. Successivamente, a Parigi incontra la scultura di Medardo Rosso e di Rodin, autori che risulteranno fondamentali per l’evolversi del suo stile. Torna a Milano nel 1893 e realizza alcune sculture monumentali come “L’angelo del dolore”per la tomba Macario e il “Cristo nel Getsemani”per la tomba Lardera. La consacrazione artistica si completa nel 1897 con la vittoria al Premio Tantardini, in cui propone l’opera “Madre”; con tale gruppo scultoreo viene chiamato a rappresentare la scultura lombarda all’Esposizione Universale di Parigi nel 1900, dove riceve altri premi. A causa delle agitazioni che interessavano Milano, lo scultore si rifugia a Varese. Ai primi anni del ‘900 ritorna Milano e ottiene l’incarico per l’insegnamento alla Scuola Superiore degli Artefici del Castello Sforzesco, attività che mantiene fino al 1929. Nel 1903, l’incontro con la futura moglie, Dina Magnani, modella all’Accademia di Brera, da cui avrà tre figli: Nives, Eros (futuro scultore) e Silvana. Partecipa a tutte le Biennali di Venezia, a partire dal 1905; è presente alla Secessione Romana, alla Triennale di Brera, a numerose mostre all’estero. Nel frattempo, la grave...

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures
Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.
Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.
There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.
When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.
On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
