Dante Carpigiani - Sculpture

Dante Carpigiani, sculptor and painter (Mirandola 1921 - Bologna 2012). Full professor for several years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. A silent artist, but not his works. He directed his attention and studies mainly toward sacred art. His works, especially bronzes and terracottas, have found a home in many churches and several pieces are visible at the Certosa of Bologna. Here presented is a work that leaves one speechless: a plaster, probably a preparatory piece for a subsequent bronze never realized. It seems an juxtaposition, but I would say better an evolution, of the Maria di Cleofa from "Il Compianto" by Niccolò dell'Arca on which Maestro Carpigiani must have pondered quite a lot. An evolution, yes, but with the signature and the silence proper to Carpigiani where the drama of dell'Arca almost mutates into a calm resignation: in silence. In good condition, as shown in the photographic gallery. It measures about 70x140x50 cm with a weight of more than 30 kg. In the sale the wooden studio pedestal is included.
