With original documentation and provenance Artwork Description Title of the work: "The Gospels and the Apocalypse" (Christ with the Children) Artist: Martino Landi (Sculptor, Florentine School) Technique: Lost-wax bronze sculpture Foundry: Venturi Arte - Bologna (Original oval mark/punch engraved on the metal) Edition: 152 / 350 (Limited worldwide edition) Included: Original wooden crate and protective packaging from the "ARTE" publishing series Artistic and Iconographic Description: An extraordinary bronze sculpture created using the complex and prestigious lost-wax casting technique, by master Martino Landi and produced by the historic Venturi Arte Foundry in Bologna. The work captures a moment of intense spirituality inspired by the sacred texts of the Gospels (Matthew 19:14; Mark 10:14), in which Jesus becomes the protector of the lowly and the innocent, urging people to welcome children. At the same time, the iconography of Christ—depicted in a robe billowing in a spiritual wind, with his hand outstretched in a gesture of admonition and guidance—evokes the hieratic majesty of the risen and triumphant Christ, Lord of History, as celebrated in the Book of Revelation. Landi's mastery is expressed through a highly tactile surface, rich in contrasts of light and shade and dynamic gestures, enhanced by the original bronze patina. The children's gentle expressions contrast with the solemnity and vigor of the central figure, creating a work of profound devotion and exceptional collectible value. This is number 152 in an exclusive series limited to just 350 pieces worldwide. The work is in perfect condition and comes complete with all its original accessories and period packaging.
