About the Item

Experience the timeless beauty of Affortunato Gory's "Baigneuse," a captivating bronze sculpture that epitomizes the elegance and grace of the Art Deco era. This exquisite piece depicts a female figure, crouching in a moment of contemplation, her form exuding a sense of serenity and poise. Signed by the artist and inscribed with "Paris" on the back, it bears the mark of Gory's mastery and craftsmanship. Affortunato Gory, a French-Italian artist born in Florence in 1895, honed his skills under the tutelage of renowned sculptors such as Augusto Rivalta and Victorien-Antoine Bastet. Specializing in figurative sculpture, Gory seamlessly blended materials like bronze, ivory, and marble to create works of art that transcend time. Though Gory's life was tragically cut short in 1925, his legacy lives on through pieces like "Baigneuse," which continue to enchant and inspire admirers of Art Deco aesthetics worldwide.
