FonderiaPaolo Uccello - Statue, Due Fanciulli - 34 cm - Bronze

This piece from the historic foundry 'P. Uccello,' as beautiful as it is rare, in dark patina bronze, depicts two children on a rock, finished with masterful attention to every tiny detail, as only the masters of old knew how to do. The children's gazes? Looking at the standing one, he seems cheerful and joyful, almost thanking someone above. The crouched one, meanwhile, intent on pulling a octopus out of a basket, has an innocent yet worried face—about what? Perhaps about the meager loot, or maybe fear of the octopus wrapping around his hand... who knows? We may never find out, and we can only leave it to the imagination of a keen observer! A unique piece that speaks of a distant time, seemingly whispering ways of life where even a crumb had value, where things had to be earned through work, just like these two children! Don’t believe it? Try bringing it home, and you’ll find out!
