Art Deco Terracotta Sculpture Signed “S.Melani”, circa 1930
About the Item
This sculpture by Salvatore Melani depicts a dynamic and muscular warrior in an intense battle-ready pose. The figure is lunging forward with one leg stretched out, while the other is bent, conveying a strong sense of motion and tension. He is clad in minimal armor, wearing only a loincloth, emphasizing his powerful physique. The warrior wields a spear in an aggressive overhead strike, with his gaze focused intently, capturing the moment of action. A shield is strapped to his left arm, adding to the dramatic composition.
The sculpture is crafted in terracotta, giving it an aged greenish hue. It is mounted on a rectangular base, grounding the figure while enhancing its sense of movement. The detailing of the muscles, facial expression, and equipment showcases Melani’s classical inspiration, reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman warrior statues. This piece embodies themes of heroism, strength, and determination, making it a striking representation of classical battle artistry.Signed by the artist on the base, "S.Melani"
Salvatore Melani was an Italian impressionist and modern sculptor who was born in 1902.
