Description from the seller
Elegant bronze sculpture with a dark patina depicting the famous commander Fanfulla da Lodi (Bartolomeo Fanfulla). The work captures the knight in a proud and dynamic pose, characterized by the 'a sbalzo' relief technique and a vibrant finish, typical of the Italian Impressionist taste of the early 20th century.
Work details
Subject: Fanfulla da Lodi, portrait in the characteristic 16th-century armor, the plumed helmet and the hand on the hip, a symbol of defiance and audacity.
Style: The surface of the bronze is not smooth, but undulating and textured, conceived to create plays of light and shadow (chiaroscuro) that give life and movement to the figure.
Base: On the front there is the engraved inscription "FANFULLA". The base is fused into a single block with the figure.
Technique: Lost-wax casting with original brown patina.
Condition: Excellent, well-preserved condition. The patina is original and shows the normal signs of aging that attest to its era. (Note: The hollow base visible in the photo confirms the artisanal casting technique).
