Description from the seller
Bronze sculpture depicting 'La Dea Bendata' on a Carrara marble base
La Dea Bendata is an allegorical figure of Fortune, traditionally represented with blindfolded eyes to symbolize the unpredictability of fate. This iconography became particularly popular in Italy between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when sculptors such as Vincenzo Aurisicchio (1855-1926) created numerous versions of this subject in bronze, often mounted on elegant Carrara marble bases. The sculptures were produced both as unique pieces and in limited editions for the decorative market of the time.
These sculptures are especially appreciated by collectors of Italian decorative art from the Liberty period and by enthusiasts of figurative sculpture of the 19th-20th century. La Dea Bendata represents a perfect example of the technical skill of Italian sculptors of the era and of the taste for classical allegory reinterpreted in a modern key. The charm of these pieces lies in their formal elegance, in the quality of the bronze casting, and in the noble Carrara marble base, which lends prestige and refinement to the work.
