About the Item
This alabaster, bronze and marble figural group was created by highly regarded Italian sculptor Emilio P. Fiaschi (1858 – 1941). The sculpture depicts the Holy Family's Flight into Egypt and has been finished with the skill and sensitivity characteristic of Fiaschi's oeuvre. Joseph walks alongside the Blessed Virgin Mary who is sitting astride a bronze donkey. The Baby Jesus is cradled in her arms close to her chest.
The heads of Mother and Son are adorned with simple circular metal disc-form halos expressing divine glory while their beatific faces impart a sense of peace and tranquility. Particular attention has been given to their facial expressions and also to the drapery of Mary's robes which fall gracefully across her lap, revealing the rounded shape of her leg.
Joseph has a stoic visage and his body is bent forward with his shoulders slightly stooped, suggesting he has been walking for a great distance and has a long way to go before reaching the end of their arduous journey. He carries a pail in his left hand and a long metal shepher's crook in his right.
The figural group is mounted on a rectangular marble plinth with clipped corners, the surface of which is carved to resemble a stony path. The sculptor's name "P. C. E. Fiaschi" is inscribed on the side beneath Joseph's sandaled feet along with the city "Firenze" and "Made in Italy".
This beautifully carved Italian sculpture carries a lot of emotional impact and would be a wonderful addition to a grouping of works by Fiaschi or works equally well showcased on its own. A lovely piece well suited to any art collection.

By Amphora, Eduard Stellmacher
Located in Cincinnati, OH
This late 19th century porcelain vase was designed by Eduard Stellmacher for Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel Amphora of Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia. The piece has a Classic Art Nouveau form and features a dimensional nymph partially encased in the leaves of a lily of the valley plant.
