About the Item
Giorgio Zennaro – Large Italian Modernist Bronze Sculpture
Sequinze Plurime Exhibition, Signed 1972, Italy
This striking large-scale modernist bronze sculpture by Giorgio Zennaro is an important work from his seminal Sequinze Plurime exhibition, signed and dated 1972, and made in Italy. Bold, architectural, and powerfully muscular in form, the sculpture exemplifies the confident language of Italian modernist sculpture of the early 1970s, where mass, rhythm, and spatial tension are central to the composition.
Constructed from interlocking geometric planes and cantilevered elements, the work possesses a dynamic sense of movement and structural force. Zennaro’s sculptural vocabulary is deeply evocative of the period—recalling the heroic scale and expressive abstraction of postwar Italian design and sculpture—while remaining distinctly individual in its formal clarity and physical presence. The layered forms create shifting voids and projections, inviting the viewer to experience the sculpture from multiple angles.
The piece has been fully restored and now features a hand-applied brushed satin finish, enhancing the warmth of the bronze while emphasizing the crisp edges and sculptural volumes. The finish gives the work a refined yet industrial character, allowing light to glide across its surfaces and reinforcing its architectural strength.
Impressive in scale and commanding in presence, this sculpture creates a visually powerful focal point in both indoor and outdoor settings. Ideal for collectors of Italian modernist sculpture, large bronze works, and important 20th-century design, it is equally suited to a gallery environment, modern interior, sculpture garden, or architectural landscape.
A rare and highly collectible work by Giorgio Zennaro, this sculpture stands as a compelling example of 1970s Italian modernism in bronze, combining artistic rigor, material integrity, and dramatic visual impact.
Original exhibition catalogue is included with the sculpture.

Seated Mercury Life-size Grand Tour Bronze Sculpture
Located in Palm Beach, FL
Seated Mercury (Hermes) — Grand Tour Life-Size Bronze
Italian School (possibly Naples)
Italy, Late 19th–Early 20th Century
This commanding life-size Grand Tour bronze depicts Mercury (Hermes) seated in quiet repose upon a rock, rendered with classical authority and exceptional refinement. The youthful god’s finely modeled anatomy, serene, introspective expression, and distinctive winged sandals draw directly from the celebrated ancient prototype, creating a sculpture of enduring presence and balance. Fully restored and ready to place, the bronze presents beautifully for interior display or garden installation, where its patinated surface responds richly to natural light.
The composition derives from the renowned Seated Mercury discovered on August 3, 1758, in the peristyle garden of the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum. The ancient original—now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli—became a touchstone of classical taste and a must-see for Grand Tour travelers of the 18th and 19th centuries, admired for its harmony, restraint, and technical mastery.
Cast in richly toned bronze and finished with a nuanced patina, this example exemplifies the Neapolitan tradition of Grand Tour bronzes, prized for archaeological fidelity and sculptural finesse. Its impressive scale and poised silhouette make it a significant focal point in both modern and classical settings—an object that bridges antiquity and the cultivated collecting culture of the Grand Tour.
