About the Item
Zacharie Rimbez (active between 19th and 20th centuries). White marble Orientalist bust depicting Armida, second half of the 19th century.
Armida is a Muslim sorceress, a character in Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered. Armida is a young woman, with blond curly hair, pale complexion and red lips, of enchanting beauty, to the point that the author goes so far as to declare that she is the most beautiful woman who has ever lived on Earth. Despite her young age, Armida possesses expert intelligence and a vigorous soul, and has an extraordinary talent for the magical arts. The figure of Armida has extraordinary success in the art world, portrayed by the greatest masters of painting starting with Gian Battista Tiepolo.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, at the height of the artistic current known as Orientalism, exotic poems such as Jerusalem Delivered were of great inspiration to artists who had often never set foot in the East.
Zacharie Rimbez is a French orientalist sculptor who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. His works mainly include busts, the best known of which remains "Armida." Bronze versions of this bust are mainly known; marble versions are very rare.
Our bust is in excellent condition, free of restoration and with its original patina. And signed Z. Rimbez on the shoulder. It rests on its original white marble and red marble base.
