About the Item

Introducing an extraordinary 19th-century gilt bronze sculpture of Fortuna, masterfully created after the famed Italian Renaissance sculptor Giambologna (1529-1608). This impressive piece embodies the grace and elegance of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck and fortune. The sculpture is intricately cast and gilded, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship inspired by Giambologna's iconic works. Fortuna is depicted in a dynamic pose, raised on a beautifully mottled antique marble plinth. She holds a spiral fluted cornucopia overflowing with flowers in one hand and a cascade of coins in the other, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. Adorned in a diaphanous garment that drapes gracefully over her form, Fortuna’s hair is loosely tied back with a ribbon, emphasizing her ethereal beauty. Her right foot is poised delicately on the wheel of fortune, further reinforcing her association with the capricious nature of fate. The attention to detail in this sculpture is remarkable, from the intricate folds of her attire to the meticulously rendered features of her face and hands. The gilding enhances the richness of the piece, creating a striking visual impact. This gilt bronze sculpture stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Giambologna's work, bringing a touch of Renaissance artistry into any collection. It is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs, making it a valuable addition to any discerning collector’s repertoire. The dimensions of the sculpture are approximately 33.5 inches tall by 8 inches diameter, making it a commanding presence in any space. Whether displayed in a private collection, a gallery, or a luxurious setting, this statue of Fortuna is sure to captivate and inspire admiration for its timeless beauty and historical significance.
