• Lot Description:
  An Italian marble statue of the Venus de Medici - signed P. (Pietro) Bazzanti
  Firenze, c.1880. Sculpted after the Hellenistic antique statue, the naked goddess standing coyly looking to the left with putti riding a dolphin by her left leg, a polished slave bangle restoration encircles her left arm.
• Notes:
  Bazzanti was a central figure in the production of Florentine sculpture at the end of the 19th century. The Galleria Bazzanti opened in 1822 and specialised in allegorical and genre subjects as well as copies of Antique and Renaissance sculpture. Regarded as one of the most talented sculptors of his day, his studio in Florence became a centre for other important sculptors such as Ferdinando Vichi, one of whose sculptures Cordy's sold for $16, 500 in 2013. Raised on ebonized wood plinth. Height excluding plinth 1010.
