  • Salvatore Albano signed dated 19th century figurative italian marble sculpture
    Located in Florence, IT
    This marble bust, signed S. Albano dated 1890, belongs to his adult age and to the last years of his life, when he was already very requested and he had a prolific workshop in Florence. It represents a young peasant, portrayed with a simple handkerchief covering her hair and a shirt opened on the neckline to let us a see the crucifix cross, symbol of a sincere and innocent faith (the necklace appears in other is Albano’s works, like in the artist’s sister, Evangeline, Marguerite busts and in the Marguerite sculpture, all of them in private collections). The simple and tender subject is made with an exquisite technique, still quoting De Gubernatis “he can be enviable because he gives to the modelled flesh a singular transparency”, as we can see in the delicacy of the cheeks, nose, chin. His skills especially appear in the details: the locks naturally coming out, the light signs of the eyebrows, handkerchief with his thin folding line, the collar of the shirt bending on itself, the use of the drill for the rendering of the curly hair. Born in a small town in the deep South of Italy by a decent but very modest family, he developed artistic inclination since he was a child by modelling Nativity Scene characters for the people of his neighbour until the1858 when, thanks to the help of some oh his fellows recognising his talent, he moved to Naples to follow the lessons of the sculptor Antonio Sorbillo before starting his training at the Fine Art Academy with Tito Angelini...
