Pair of Italian Neoclassical Style Figural Marble Consoles
About the Item
Exquisite and unique pair of Italian neoclassical style hand carved white marble consoles of Greek Sirens, 20th century.
A similar console was sold at Sotheby's Auction in 2009. (See attached tear sheet photo)
The thick rectangular glass top is resting on a finely hand carved white marble male and female Sirens, comprised of a human body with a stunning expression on their faces, and intricately detailed feathered large wings, terminating in scaled fish fins, resting on rocky bases.
This opposing pair of marble Sirens stands as a striking masterpiece of art decorating important mansions. Each console is entirely carved of one huge piece of marble.
Sirens are a part of Greek mythology. They were considered fascinating creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. The Roman Poet always imagined the Sirens on areas surrounded by cliffs and rocks near the Sirenum Scopuli islands.
Also, Sirens were believed to combine women and birds in various ways. In early Greek art, Sirens were represented as birds with large women's heads, bird feathers and scaly feet. Originally, Sirens were shown to be male or female, but the male Siren disappeared from art around fifth century BC.
In the notebooks of LEONARDO DA VINCI, he wrote: "The siren sings so sweetly that she lulls the mariners to sleep; then she climbs upon the ships and kills the sleepings mariners." Also, the Sirens are found in many Greek stories, notably in Homer's Odyssey and Ovid.
