Product description
A refined bronze sculpture bearing the signature of the renowned master of Neapolitan realism, Vincenzo Gemito (1852-1929). The work portrays a young boy with the distinctive features of the myth of Alexander the Great, characterized by his famous hairstyle with a knotted quiff on his forehead (anastolé), a beloved theme in Gemito's artistic production. The sculpture exudes extraordinary vitality: the intense gaze, the slightly open mouth, and the naturalistic rendering of the hair testify to the artist's technical mastery in capturing the soul of his subjects. The bust rests on an elegant molded circular base, embellished on the front with a small frieze depicting a winged cherub/genie, a detail that enhances the rarity of the piece. Technical Details: Author: Vincenzo Gemito (signature engraved on the base) Material: Bronze with a warm brown patina and glossy highlights Dimensions: Height 34 cm | Width 20 cm | Depth 16 cm Weight: approximately 3 kg Technique: Lost-wax casting Period: Late 19th / Early 20th century Condition: The work is in excellent overall condition. The patina is original and well preserved, with a natural and fascinating dark green oxidation inside the hollow (as shown in the photo), a guarantee of the authenticity of the material and its age. There are no structural losses or restorations. Notes for Collectors: Gemito's works are pillars of international collecting and are present in the most important museums (Capodimonte Museum, Getty Museum). This bust, due to its size and sculptural quality, represents a valuable artistic investment, perfect for high-end furnishings or private collections of European sculpture.
