About the Item

The magnificent series of 4 mythological statues by Filippo Parodi di Genova (1630-1702), with allegorical representations of the natural and material wealth as well as the natural and the armed power. Limewood, carved in full round and hollowed inside. The two females are an allegorical representation of wealth, while the male pair is an allegorical representation of power. One seated woman with a diadem and the Horn of plenty filled with corn, grapes, peaches and pomegranates is the mythological representation of Flora and the allegorical representation of the wealth of nature or the friuts of her work in that nature. The other female statue with a crown coins and beads in her hand personifies the mythological goddess Abundantia, representing wealth or the gain from trade and economy. The male pair shows the allegory of power, the natural and the armored power. One male statue represents the naturally strong, muscular man who needs neither protection nor weapon. Despites his nakedness he radiates strength and power. This statue follows Baroque mythological types of representing Hercules or Mars. The other male statue is a rather delicate young man of delicate features, who does not represent strength, power or intimidation. He is however richly equipped with greaves, armour, helmet and a shield depicting the hydra head. He is the mythological representation of Perseus and an allegorical personification of armoured power. All four statues are with their original lustrous and matte silvering over yellow chalk ground. Translucent glazed. Each statue is seated on a woodden, carved and gilt Stand. Provenance: Villa delle rose, Florence.
