About the Item

The bronze proposed here was initially presented in November 1878 at the Competition for the Encouragement of Brera. It is therefore one of the first celebratory works of the sculptor Ambrogio Borghi. The work was later exhibited at the “Esposizione Generale Italiana” in Turin in 1884 in a larger version, accompanied by the sculptor’s tools. The smelters, as can be seen from the engraving, are the milanese "Barigozzi and Barzaghi" of whom Borghi was also an assistant. The work of the latter is rendered in detail, with extreme cleanliness and precision, the smoothing of the surfaces and the chiseling underline a care in keeping with the importance of the work.

19th Century Cesare Beccaria Bronze Sculpture
Located in Milan, IT
19th Century. Cesare Beccaria Bronze, 49 x 13 x 15 cm The bronze statue examined faithfully reproduces the famous Milanese monument by Giuseppe Grandi (1843-1894) dedicated to Cesare Beccaria. The work, from the top of a high base in white Montorfano granite, dominates the homonymous Milanese square, a sad stage for executions at the time of Austrian rule, in a bronze copy of 1914 to replace the original stone statue which already at the beginning of the new century showed serious signs of deterioration. The marble became part of the collections of the Gallery of Modern Art and is now located inside the Palazzo di Giustizia in Milan. The initiative regarding the erection of a monument dedicated to Cesare Beccaria originates in 1865, in support of the proposed abolition of the death penalty...
