  • "Poésie" a 19th Century French Polychromed Symbolist Marble Sculpture
    By Dante Gabriel Rossetti
    Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
    "Poésie" a 19th century French Polychromed Symbolist marble sculpture A Carrare, Sienna and very rare Skyros Marbles Symbolist Sculpture Group. Figuring Poetry under the appearance of Dante and Béatrice resting on a rock, Dante holding in his hand a parchment titled "Poetry". It rests on a Neo-Renaissance moulded and hand-carved walnut rotating sellette, the barrel consists of three fluted Corinthian columns, decorated with foliage at the base, resting on a truncated column decorated with female masks connected by a drape. It’s joined, in the upper part, by arcatures with a background of foliated foliage and masks of women crowned alternately with cutout RT monogram. Moulded triangular base, with curved sides and rising from lobed angles with a frieze of oves at the base. Circa 1870 Measures: Sculpture: H. 75 CM • 29 1/2 IN. Sellette: H. 112 CM W. 44 CM - D. 49 CM H 44 1/8 IN. W 17 3/8 IN. D 19 1/4 IN. The poetry of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Beatrice Portinari, simply known as Beatrice or Beatrix, commonly refers to the muse of Dante Alighieri, whom he glorifies and loves. But she is also a woman whom, if one follows the New Life, Dante loved from his childhood, and to whom he dedicated a place in all his works. More sensitive than all is the resolute amplification which, after the pathetic force and expressionist intensity of Hell, intensifies with the more elegiac and penetrating emotion of Purgatory and leads to the miraculous triumph of the imaginary in Paradise. Of the three «hymns», it is Hell which is the most known, the most popular one can say: the taste of the picturesque, spread by the romantic criticism, is much to it. Dante, however, had the conviction, repeatedly affirmed in his poem, that by rising from one kingdom to another, he raised his poetry each time by a level which made it worthy of an ever more «high» matter. At a distance of six and a half centuries, there is certainly no obligation to share this view, however assured it may be for the poet. Anyone, however, who wants to enter the world of the Comedy must refuse the scale, eliminatory in its consequences of fact, which puts such a section above the other or brings the Comedy to a rosary of episodes more or less «beautiful» Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882), generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti...
