About the Item

Sculpture of Hera - A Masterpiece of Art and Myth The Sculpture of Hera in plaster, wax, and charcoal is a work that embodies the strength, grace, and timeless charm of Greek mythology. Made entirely by hand, and not by mold, it is distinguished by its refined forms and attention to detail. With its harmonious proportions, this creation evokes the majestic image of the goddess, giving her an aura of solemnity and beauty. Fine Materials and Masterful Technique The work was created with a skillful use of plaster, wax, and charcoal, materials chosen not only for their aesthetic value but also for their ability to convey depth and visual warmth. The delicately patterned surface reveals meticulous work that enhances every feature of the face and every curve of the composition. This sculpture, in excellent overall condition, measures 50 cm with base, while the head alone is 27×25×20 cm. The Artist and His Vision The author, Alessandro La Motta, is an artist of recognized talent, present at the 54th Venice Biennale and the protagonist of important international exhibitions in New York, Barcelona, Shanghai and Brussels. His ability to fuse myth, history and the contemporary emerges strongly in this portrayal of Hera, a symbol of kingship and female power. A Work for Collectors and Lovers of Beauty This sculpture is perfect for those who wish to enrich their collection with a unique, one-of-a-kind piece. It can be placed in modern or classic spaces, creating a visually striking focal point. The careful craftsmanship, combined with the nobility of the materials, makes it not only a decorative object, but also a valuable artistic investment.
