Description from the seller

Bronze patinated violin sculpture, second half of the 20th century

Decorative sculpture realized in patinated bronze during the second half of the 20th century, conceived as an artistic and contemporary interpretation of a violin. The piece features a stylized, abstract character, in which the instrument's traditional forms have been simplified and transformed through organic volumes and perforations that add dynamism and visual lightness.

The body of the violin appears represented schematically, preserving essential elements such as the sound box, the neck and the pegbox, though reinterpreted with a modern sculptural language. The surface shows an attractive patina in greenish and bluish tones, the result of treatments applied to the bronze to highlight texture and depth. In the more prominent zones, golden hues of the metal emerge, creating a notable color contrast that emphasizes the reliefs and contours.

The sculpture rises on a solid rectangular base of polished transparent crystal, whose formal simplicity helps to enhance the presence of the work and provides stability to the whole. The transparency of the support establishes an interesting visual dialogue with the opacity and rich materiality of the bronze.

Due to its abstract aesthetics and clear reference to the musical universe, this piece combines sculptural and decorative qualities, constituting a representative example of artistic production inspired by musical instruments during the second half of the 20th century. Its execution shows an interest in formal synthesis and volumetric experimentation, common characteristics of contemporary ornamental sculpture.

Insured shipping and careful packaging.
