AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful large bronze relief that reproduces the Winged Victory, already minted on a medal by Giuseppe Zapparelli.
Notizie storico-critiche: In 1823 excavations began in the center of Brescia, at the initiative of the Academy and the Municipality, encouraged by neoclassical fervor, under the direction of the architect Rodolfo Vantini, Giovanni Labus and the painter Luigi Basiletti. During the excavations (which continued until 1830), in 1826 a large complex of ancient bronzes was found, among which the Winged Victory depicted here.
To celebrate the excavations a coin was minted by Zapparelli, between 1826 and 1880.
SI offre in asta un tondo di bronzo di grandi dimensioni di 19,5 cm di diametro che riproduce la Vittoria Alata.
Excellent condition, on a marble base.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
