PIETRO BAZZANTI – Marble Sculpture

This exquisite antique sculpture represents the revered Minerva, meticulously crafted in alabaster by Professor Pietro Bazzanti. Raised upon a classic circular plinth and distinguished by the artist’s signature verso, this antique bust is a remarkable example of Italian artistry from circa 1900.

  • Exceptional alabaster sculpture with Minerva motif
  • Height: 66 cm (26 ins)
  • Width: 36 cm (14 ins)
  • Circular plinth base for elegant elevation
  • Signed by Professor Pietro Bazzanti, Italian master sculptor

When compared to other antique busts and contemporary alabaster sculpture, this piece stands apart for its masterful detailing and historical provenance. Many 19th-century Italian sculptures echo neoclassical traditions, but this antique sculpture captures a refined balance of realism and idealism unique to Bazzanti’s esteemed workshop. The substantial proportions and clarity of carving surpass the techniques often seen in similar works from the same era.

Key Technical Advantages:

  • Exemplifies superior craftsmanship in antique bust creation
  • Finely honed alabaster material ensures long-lasting beauty
  • Circular plinth enhances display aesthetics and stability
  • Distinctive signature authentication sets it apart in provenance and collectability
  • Evokes the mythological grandeur of classical themes

Perfect for collectors, interior designers, or connoisseurs of fine art, this sculpture not only offers a focal point for any room, but also represents a significant chapter in Italian artistic heritage.
