ASTRONOMO GRECO

Carfagno Danilo. This work titled "Greco Astronomer" is one of the sculptures that are part of the exhibition "Ellenikos" organized by the author in the 2000s under the patronage of the Comune di Colli al Metauro, in the province of Pesaro-Urbino. Danilo Carfagno boasts annual solo exhibitions and publications in national art magazines. He is the illustrator of the Divine Comedy with 3 paintings of 6 m² each that he brings annually to his shows. The work "Greco Astronomer" is a full-round bust obtained by improvising it on a 30 kg block of clay, with no preliminary drawing. It dried for five months and was fired at 980 degrees, then coated with liquid bronze and subsequently oxidized. It is a unique and original piece. The sculpture captures the Greco Astronomer at the moment he gazes at the stars in the celestial vault. On the left it bears the artist’s initials and below the exhibition details in which the work was displayed and the artist’s autograph.
