Dal modello di Da Lotto - Sculpture, Ragazzo - 100 cm - Bronze

Bronze sculpture with a dark patina depicting a young nude figure, wrapped in a light loincloth, captured in a pose of great naturalism and movement. The boy is balanced on his right leg while he raises his left, turning his gaze toward the foot in a gesture that suggests surprise or pain. The right arm extends laterally to balance the composition, giving the piece elegance and dynamism. The figure rests on a naturalistic base on which appears a crab, a narrative element that seems to constitute the cause of the youth’s reaction and enriches the scene with an anecdotal character. The refined anatomical modeling, the softness of the surfaces, and the dark patina heighten the sculpture’s plastic quality, linked to the academic and neoclassical taste between the 19th and early 20th centuries.
