In 1852, Giovanni Battista Lombardi went to Rome to study at the Academy of San Luca with the sculptor Pietro Tenerani. His works are very diverse: from portraits to funerary and public monuments, up to works on mythological and historical-biblical subjects. Several of his sculptures are kept in Brescia, in Bologna and in Rome. Other works are in private collections, and some others are represented in the US and Australia. One of the artist's most recognizable works is the Biblical character Ruth.
Ruth, a Biblical figure and the great-grandmother of David, is here represented with sheaves of corn, a reference to the fields of Boaz, whose fields she gleaned and whom she ultimately married following demonstrations of her virtuosity.

- Sculpture Scipione Tadolini the Greek Slave Second Half of the, 19th CenturyBy Scipione TadoliniLocated in SAINT-JEAN-CAP-FERRAT, FRScipione Tadolini was a skilled sculptor whose broad talent covered the neoclassic to the romantic movements. His ancestors from a dynasty of Roman sculptors exerted a profound and lasting influence on the artistic production of the Eternal City. The Greek Slave fully demonstrates his masterly talent and serves as a reminder of antique models and the orientalist influences characterising the second half of the 19th century. Scipione Tadolini graduated from the Roman Academy and worked with his father on a series of celebrated portraits and ecclesiastical sculptures for Roman churches including a bust of Cardinal Giuseppe Alberghini for the Gesù (1847) and portraits of various members of the Cini family for the Church of Sant’Andrea della Valle (1844, 1846). Tadolini is also known as the author of a number of large-scale monuments for patrons around the world including an equestrian group of Simon Bolivar for the city of Lima, Peru. One of his best known sculptures is The Greek Slave which appears in his work from the late 1850s forward.The Greek Slave was created in several sizes in two variations: with the figure’s hand either raised to her chest or to her chin. The small number of versions all indicate the sculptor’s careful attention to the human form and passion with exoticism, which can be noticed through the tumbling folds of the present figure's headdress and the finely articulated jewellery...Category

- Bronze Casting from the 1930s Giovanni De MartinoBy Giovanni De MartinoLocated in bari, ITDe Martino is a classical artist, known for the production of sculptures of small bronze busts, in particular (“scugnizzi”, fishermen, commoners) with realistic features. He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples under the guidance of Stanislao Nome, Gioacchino Toma, and Achille D ’Orsi, from whom he learned the ability to portray the most realistic details using them on very young subjects. Very young he moved to Paris where he performed small sculptural groups, exhibiting frequently at the "Paris Salon" where he won the prize of the Louvre Museum for the bronze work Le Pêcheur de criquets (The Fisher of locusts, Naples, private collection). Returning to Naples, he returned to a socialist realism and produced sculptures depicting characteristic Neapolitan types, especially urchins, “street urchins”, little boys and young fishermen. From 1916-1931 he was master of the sculptor Angelo Frattini. Later the dominant theme of his production was childhood, in particular thoughtful, sad, gaunt children were represented in his works, on whose faces the signs of abandonment and suffering emerged. De Martino became known with the nickname of “The sculptor of children”.Category
