Dal modello di Giovanni Varlese - Figure - Pescatorello - Metal

Metal sculpture by Giovanni Varlese depicting Pescatoreello from the early 1900s. Statue of the “Pescatorello,” metal work signed by Giovanni Varlese 1888 – 1922, Naples. The artist belongs to the thread of the famous Neapolitan sculptors’ school which, at the turn of the 19th/20th century, distinguished itself for great skill and creativity. In this vein the master of reference, also for Varlese, was Vincenzo Gemito 1852 – 1929. Of humble origins he became an artist with international fame, famous is his portrait of Verdi and famous are the sculptures of the Fisherman and the Pescatorello that became a classic of Neapolitan sculpture. In good condition. This notable piece of considerable size is ready to enrich any environment; you can place it on a bookshelf, a column, or in an entrance, thanks to its size it does not fear to stand alone, enriching any space it occupies. Well finished, rich in details as only the skilled hands of artisans of a time knew how to make. This work belongs to a small private collection of my grandfather’s and since I am not a professional antiquarian I cannot guarantee that it is 100% bronze, but the patina, that green visible in the cavities, the weight and the clinking seem to say so. In any case it is offered as metal. It is mounted on Carrara marble; in some photos it is not visible because I had to remove the background. In good condition with slight signs of time given its age. The piece measures 40 cm by itself, with the fishing rod it reaches 50 cm in height. Photos taken with a cellphone do not render the true beauty of the piece. I guarantee accurate and trackable shipping.
