Dal modello di Giovanni Varlese - Figure - Pescatorello - Metal

Metal sculpture by Giovanni Varlese depicting Pescatorello from the early 1900s. Statue of the “Pescatorello,” metal work signed by Giovanni Varlese 1888 – 1922 Naples. The artist belongs to the line of the famous Neapolitan sculptors who, around the 1800s/1900s, stood out for great skill and creativity. In this line the reference master, also for Varlese, was Vincenzo Gemito 1852 – 1929. Of humble origins he became an artist of international fame, famous for his portrait of Verdi and well known for the sculptures of the Fisherman and the Little Fisherman, which became a classic of Neapolitan sculpture. In good state of conservation. This small work of notable size is ready to enrich any environment; you can place it on a bookshelf, a column, or in an entrance, thanks to its size it does not fear standing alone, enriching whatever space it occupies. Well finished, rich in details as only the skilled hands of artisans of old knew how to do. This piece belongs to a small private collection of my grandfather and since I am not a professional antiquarian I cannot guarantee that it is 100% bronze, but the patina, that green visible in the cavities, the weight and the tinkling seem to indicate this. In any case it is offered as metal. It is mounted on Carrara marble; in some photos it is not visible because I had to remove the background. In good condition with slight signs of time given its age. The work measures 40 cm by itself, with the fishing rod it reaches 50 cm in height. The photos taken with a mobile phone do not render the true beauty of the piece. I guarantee careful and traceable shipping.
