Description
Interesting commemorative bas-relief depicting Giosuè Carducci (1835–1907), Italian poet and Nobel Prize in Literature in 1906.
The poet is depicted seated in an armchair, with a staff, in a composition rich in plastic detail. At the top are the dates 1835–1907, accompanied by decorative motifs with laurel branches.
The plaque features a dark patina with brownish and greenish tints and preserves a square dark wood frame.
Attribution and historical references
The work shows stylistic characteristics compatible with Italian commemorative production of the early 1900s.
A possible connection with the Milanese sculptor and medalist Egidio Boninsegna (1869–1929), author of a commemorative plaque dedicated to Giosuè Carducci in 1908, is noted.
However, the match between Boninsegna’s documented model and the present bas-relief has not been established. The attribution remains a hypothesis for study.
On the surface there is a difficult-to-read mark, not yet identified.
Work of historical, literary, and decorative interest, offered in the conservation state documented by the photographs.
Sold with frame, as shown in the photographs.
