Description from the seller
Statue depicting "THE YOUNG ROMILLY" (1863) based on Alexander Munro (1825–1871), artwork from a private noble collection from the United Kingdom, hand-sculpted in Carrara White Statutary Marble.
• Dimensions: 92 cm in height • 70 cm in width • 35 cm in depth • Weight 100 kg
• Condition: Very Good, with signs of age (for example on one of the dog’s paw), with no parts missing.
Please view carefully all the numerous photos included before making an offer, to avoid unpleasant situations.
• Period: 1863 (19th century - Victorian/Pre-Raphaelite era)
• Description of the work: This extraordinary sculpture in Carrara White Statutory Marble is a masterpiece of rare sensitivity and elegance, infused with the Romanticism typical of the Victorian era. The work depicts the young Romilly (inspired by the famous tragic medieval legend of the Egremont boy, immortalized in the poems by William Wordsworth and Rogers), caught in a moment of tender and faithful communion with his hunting dog.
The boy wears a finely carved medieval tunic, on whose chest sits a heraldic emblem. The figure rests on a pedestal of extraordinary virtuosity, where the marble appears to soften, giving life to detailed ferns and soft moss.
The choice of Carrara Statutory Marble, favored by the great masters of history, gives the sculpture an almost ethereal luminosity. The surface finish captures light sublimely, highlighting the delicacy of the boy’s face and the realistic texture of the dog’s fur.
• The packaging will be carried out directly by CENZI ArtGallery on a platform made of EPAL wood completely clad in wood, with professional and specific materials inside. The shipment will be fast, trackable, and insured.
• CENZI ArtGallery certifies with Invoice and Expertise all the artworks you decide to purchase, free of charge upon request.
