Dante Carpigiani - Sculpture

Dante Carpigiani, sculptor and painter (Mirandola, 1921 – Bologna, 2012). He was a full professor for several years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. A quiet artist, but his works are anything but. He devoted his attention and studies primarily to sacred art. His works, especially bronzes and terracottas, have found a home in many churches, and several can be seen at the Certosa of Bologna. Here is a work that leaves you speechless: a plaster sculpture, probably a preparatory model for a subsequent bronze that was never made. It may seem like a juxtaposition, though I would describe it more as an evolution, of Mary of Cleophas in Niccolò dell'Arca's “Lamentation,” on which Master Carpigiani must have spent a great deal of time reflecting. An evolution, yes, but one bearing Carpigiani's own signature and silence, in which the drama of dell'Arca gives way to something like quiet resignation: in silence. In good condition, as shown in the photo gallery. Approx. 70 x 140 x 50 cm, weighing over 30 kg. The studio-made wooden pedestal is included in the sale. Shipping will necessarily be on a pallet, and the costs include all the materials needed to ensure the utmost safety. Assistance is provided through to delivery.
