Bust, Dea Bendata - 16 cm - Marble, Spelter

Enchanting Metal Sculpture "The Goddess of Fortune" – Vincenzo Aurisicchio Style, Early 1900s
Description of the Work
Add a touch of timeless charm and classical mystery to your collection or to your decor with this splendid patinated bronze sculpture. The bust depicts the iconic Goddess of Fortune (commonly known as the Goddess of Fate), freely inspired by the famous and highly sought-after model by the Neapolitan sculptor Vincenzo Aurisicchio (1855-1926).
The piece captivates the viewer thanks to the expressive resolve of the face: an enigmatic and mischievous smile that contrasts with the blindfold over the eyes, a perfect allegorical symbol of the randomness of fate and blind fortune. The details of the wavy hair and the soft volumes reflect the extraordinary tradition of the Neapolitan sculptural school at the turn between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The sculpture rests on a solid and refined square base in light veined marble, which gives the piece momentum, stability, and chromatic elegance.
