Description from the seller
Patinated plaster sculpture depicting David – Italy, 1950s
Refined plaster sculpture with a bronze imitation patina, depicting Michelangelo's famous David, attributed to European production from the 1950s, a period when high-quality reproductions were widespread, intended for artists' studios, academies, and cultured bourgeois environments.
The figure is depicted in the classic contrapposto stance, with the body's weight elegantly shifted onto one leg, a formal solution that imparts naturalness, balance, and dynamic tension to the composition. The anatomy is accurate and well-proportioned, with careful rendering of the musculature, face, and curly hair, faithfully inspired by the Michelangelo model.
The sculpture rests on an integrated base with a support trunk, a traditional iconographic element in reinterpretations of David, serving both structural and compositional purposes. The patina is carefully applied, mimicking the appearance of ancient bronze, and features a uniform surface with subtle color variations and signs of aging consistent with the object's age, attesting to its historical authenticity.
These patinated plaster works were particularly appreciated between the 19th and early 20th centuries for their educational, decorative, and collecting purposes, representing an educated and accessible way to approach the great models of Renaissance sculpture.
Ideal for:
collectors of figurative sculpture
studies, libraries, and representative environments
Decorative arrangements with a classic taste.
enthusiasts of Neo-Renaissance and academic art
An authentic vintage specimen, not a modern production, crafted according to traditional techniques of patinated plaster.
Careful and professional packaging.
Tracked and secure shipping across Europe.
