Baroque style Fountain - 20th century - Large

In this auction an exquisite and imposing fountain sculpture in gilded bronze of notable size and weight from the 20th century The sculpture depicts a putto cherub, always in bronze, laid on a huge seashell with a fish in his hands. The fountain is magnificent and of great scenic impact, realized with an elegant putto seated on a shell supported by three other large fish at the base. The sculptural force of the artist is transmitted to the lively and cheerful fish intent on splashing. The ensemble of this impressive sculpture faithfully recalls the sumptuous French and Italian classical sculptures of important indoor or outdoor furnishings. They were often displayed in high-representation environments such as private homes or hôtels particuliers. The Baroque style is classical and characterizes the sculpture. Gilded bronze gives a richly luxurious appearance to the sculpture itself, adds prestige and luminosity, making it ideal for monumental entrances, villas, hotels, boutique hotels, or exclusive residences. The extraordinary richness of details—hands, feet, face of the putto, all the fish, shell and marine elements—are carved with notable care and decorative value. It is inspired by the masterpieces of the Baroque tradition. This type of fountain sculpture is often found in ancient Rome or Paris in the atria of elegant palaces. The sculpture is hand-signed by the artist. It is equipped with tubing for a fountain, the electric motor is absent. 65 cm x 60 cm x 50 cm The artist's signature is AJ. Joh
