Riassunto

This is the third in the series of intelligent and lively exhibition catalogues by the Tomasso Brothers, a family richly endowed with great sensitivity to sculpture. Presented here is a carefully selected range of sculptures from the early Renaissance to the Neo-Classical period. Many of the works epitomize the artistic tastes and cultural ideals of their time and provide a rich visual journey through 500 years of sculpture. Works include a rare and significant, early plaque of Madonna and Child by Luca della Robbia; a gilt bronze masterpiece of Cupid astride a Dolphin by Francesco di Virgilio Fanelli; a Farnese Bull by Giovanni Francesco Susini; an unusual and eye-catching terracotta, previously unpublished, of a black man in ragged clothes by Joseph Willems; and a highly original bust of the Emperor Caracalla by Joseph Claus, a milestone in the development of early Roman neoclassicism.

Recensione:

'...showcases superb European sculpture from the 15th to 18th centuries, including a terracotta model of a black man holding a mixing bowl by the Flemish sculptor Joseph Willems (c. 1705-1766). Particularly appealing is this stucco relief, Madonna and Child with the young St John the Baptist by Benedetto da Maiano (1442-1497), who was among the most accomplished marble carvers of the 15th century.' --Apollo Magazine, Annie Blinkhorn

L'autore:

Tomasso Brothers Fine Art is the dynamic partnership of three brothers, Dino, Giovanni and Raffaello and was established in 1993. The founding of the company came as a result of their education in fine art from an early age and a passionate love of the art world. Whilst they are recognized internationally for their broad understanding and taste in the world of European sculpture dating from the Medieval to the Neo-Classical periods, they also have interests in several other fields including old master paintings, antiquities and fine furniture. However their main speciality is sculpture and through their taste and knowledge, they have developed a particular forte in European Renaissance bronzes and marbles.
