Splendid bronze sculptures by the renowned master Nuccio Fontanella (1936-2005), a remarkable interpreter of the human figure in the 20th century. The works depict ballerinas captured in a moment of dynamic harmony, where the heaviness of metal dissolves to give way to an incredible sense of lightness and suspension. The anatomical details are defined with extreme precision, highlighting muscle tension and the plasticity of the athletic gesture. The surface patina, enriched with warm tonal shading, captures and reflects light, enhancing every single detail and the soft curves of the body in movement.
