About the Item
A large antique bronze sculpture depicting the Abduction of Europa attributed to Vincenzo Cinque.
The large scale and intriguing subject paired with its dark patination makes this an exceptional piece for a sideboard or display cabinet; taking pride of place for passers by to admire.
This depiction dates to 1900, showcasing expertly crafted features and a striking neoclassical style, much like late 19th century original.
A scratched signature reading 'Huut' can be seen to the naturalistic base, thought to be the name of a previous owner.
Abduction of Europa by Vincenzo Cinque
Greek mythology tells the story of princess Europa who was abducted by Zeus, God of the sky and ruler of the Gods, who transformed himself into a handsome bull to lure the princess into his grasp.
In this bronze depiction, a male figure struggles in vain to stop Zeus as he fights back with Europa strapped to his back.
With his head lowered, the bull forces his way past the male figure and escapes with her to Crete, where she would bear him three sons.
Although there are various depictions of this subject, this copy sets itself apart with a much more hyper-realistic tone.
Vincenzo Cinque is considered to be one of the key artists in the Italian realism movement spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This is one of his iconic pieces telling a one of the most recognised greek mythological stories.

Very Large Bronze "Abduction of a Sabine Woman" After Giambologna, 19th Cent
By Giambologna, Ferdinando de Luca
Located in Paris, FR
Very large bronze sculpture with brown patina, based on the group "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by John of Bologna (Giambologna). This pivoting composition shows three figures in motion: a man on the ground defeated with his shield turned upside down, a second one arched clutching a woman launched towards the sky trying to escape, all on a naturalistic base. The Sabine man, the Roman and the Sabine woman are all depicted naked. This staging plays on serpentine lines known as "figura serpentinata" and diagonals giving a beautiful variety of volumes and a multiplicity of angles of view. The bronze is signed F. De Luca...
