About the Item

Early 20th century patinated bronze sculpture of male Athlete by Donato Barcaglia, Italy By: Donato Barcaglia Material: bronze, copper, tin, metal Technique: cast, molded, patinated, polished, metalwork Dimensions: 7.5 in x 5.5 in x 6 in Date: early 20th century, circa 1900 Style: Belle Époque, Art Nouveau Place of origin: Italy Crafted in Italy during the early 20th century, this compelling sculpture by Donato Barcaglia presents a patinated bronze depiction of a male athlete. The figure is rendered in a relaxed yet poised stance, leaning against an integrated structural element that serves as both support and base. The athlete is nude, save for a classical-style loincloth, its form suggesting a historical precedent. The artist's signature is evident on the base, further authenticating the work. The interplay of light and shadow across the sculpted musculature accentuates the form, highlighting the artist's command of modeling and casting techniques.
