A monumental 19th C. Italian Marble Bust of The Grandparents, Titled: Rimembranze, Signed Vichi. Presenting an exquisite Italian masterpiece from the 1800s, we have a captivating white Carrara marble bust group entitled "Rimembranze" (Remembrance). This remarkable sculpture portrays an endearing elderly couple locked in a tender embrace, their love emanating through the gentle touch of the man's hand on the lady's chin and face. The profound affection and mesmerizing connection between them are beautifully captured in the expressions gracing their faces. Renowned for his exceptional talent, Ferdinando Vichi meticulously crafted this sculpture, paying meticulous attention to every detail. The couple's wrinkles, veins, and musculature, as well as the delicate rendering of their clothing and expressions, are expertly brought to life by Vichi's craftsmanship, establishing this artwork as one of his most remarkable and meticulously executed pieces. The sculpture rests on a contrasting black marble base with the title "Rimembranze" etched into the side, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Vichi's artistry is truly captivating. The old woman's knitted shawl, meticulously fashioned out of marble, appears astonishingly lifelike, while the choice of beautiful white marble exudes a refreshing allure. The old man's playful gesture of touching the lady's chin is captured with natural grace and warmth. Vichi's exceptional ability to sculpt fabric with such finesse creates an illusion of softness that defies the medium of marble itself. The remarkable attention to detail, from the intricately carved wrinkles and smile lines to the depiction of a lifetime shared in joy, evokes a profound sense of admiration. Ferdinando Vichi, a member of the esteemed Florentine School and associated with the Bazzanti Gallery in Florence, Italy, was part of a talented group of Tuscan sculptors.

Similar to his contemporaries from the late nineteenth century, Vichi often drew inspiration from romantic and tender subjects. This is exemplified in the beautifully detailed marble group depicting an elderly man's playful courtship and deep love for his wife.
