Belvedere torso - Carrara marble sculpture in the round -
Academic sculpture of the Belvedere torso, with some changes from the original (as shown in the attached pictures) i.e. completed with some of its parts, for a better academic rendering. Finely craved in Carrara marble, it appears softened by ageing,though it still is in excellent condition. Supported by a metal pin, which is inserted, in its turn, in a beautiful and uniform one-piece of Egyptian alabaster. The work looks very elegant and perfect as a furnishing. It has been part of my collection for several decades, a good purchase my father made in the artistic workshops of Tuscany, home of marble. Overall size: 50 cm.Torso only: 34 x 19 x 11 cm. Base: 23 x 19 cm. Weight: approx. 12 kg. Read More
