Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - Sculpture

Free shipping for this new work. In this lot we present the new sculpture “Saint Leonardo da Vinci,” a contemporary secular saint, symbol of creativity, curiosity, and genius. The sculpture invites reflection on human curiosity, challenging the rigid specializations imposed by modern society. This work was born for visionaries who share a pronounced curiosity about all human knowledge and a continuous anthropological and social study, as well as technical and materials study: characteristics that accompanied Leonardo da Vinci throughout his life and continue to define minds free from prejudices and imposed schemes. The sculpture up for auction is a limited edition work, with only 12 pieces available: 8 numbered in Roman numerals and 4 in Arabic numerals. This version is plated in gold leaf; the series also includes variants in silver and copper leaf, plus a unique piece with a halo. The new gold-leaf patinas make the work not only artistic but also visually contemporary. Made with sustainable materials such as bio-mortar and rice husk (reused material derived from processing the grain), the piece reduces environmental impact by using materials sourced from industrial waste. This is a hallmark characteristic of the artist duo Francioni Mastromarino: a sustainable art approach developed over years and not just a contemporary trend. The authors have also created the world's largest senile portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, which, after taking part in numerous international exhibitions, today stands as a city monument in Pavia and a symbol of contemporary gigantism in Italian sculpture, with a height of 5 meters. This “Saint Leonardo” is one of the models derived from that monumental work. The works of Francioni Mastromarino are present in private collections in numerous countries, including the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, and Bulgaria. Each sculpture is packaged with the utmost care and shipped via express courier, with safe and eco-friendly triple-wall cardboard packaging suitable for both national and international shipments. For shipments outside the European Union, a certificate of free export stamped by the Florence Superintendence of Fine Arts Export Office is provided. Free pickup at the authors’ studio in Pietrasanta, Tuscany, is also available.
