About the Item
Fortunato Galli (Italian, 1850-1918) "Sea Nymph", White Marble Sculpture, late 19th century, signed "F. Galli"on a carved white marble pedestal. Sculpture: 64" H x 18" W x 16" D; overall: 97" H; pedestal: 32" H x 18" Diameter. The sculptor, Professor Fortunato Galli, has depicted a sea nymph rising from the waves, her hands outstretched, and her hair enveloping her upper body. The marble is a testament to the ability of late 19th-century sculptors to create statuary of such realism and intricacy as has rarely been seen in other periods of sculpture. The sculpture falls into a tradition of Italian sculpture which arguably emerges out of the mid-19th century verismo sculpture movement. Marbles in this tradition captured the imagination of visitors to world fairs who were entranced by the technical skill on view. Along with Galli, these sculptors include some of the most famous names from this period: Cesare Lapini, Ferdinando Vichi and Emanuele Caroni. This marble is one of Galli's most significant sculptures. Literature: A. Panzetta, Nuovo dizionario degli scultori Italiani dell'ottocento e del primo novecento, Turin, 2003, p. 423; S. Berresford (ed.), "Sognando il marmo" Cultura e commercio del marmo tra Carrara, Gran Bretagna e Impero, Pisa, 2009, p. 106.

Fortunato Galli
Fortunato Galli was an Italian artist and sculptor, born in 1918, in Livorno, on the west coast of Tuscany, Italy. He spent most of his working life in Florence, where much of his subjects were religious sculptures for many of the major Tuscan churches, including his principal work, the statue of Pope Gregory VII for the Duomo, in Florence. His decorative and commercial works are concentrated on popular subjects and themes of the day and beautiful gypsies.
