About the Item

Il busto marmoreo, datato 1890, appartiene alla sua età adulta, nello specifico all’ultimo anno della sua vita, quando era molto richiesto e aveva uno studio molto prolifico a Firenze. Rappresenta una giovane contadinella, ritratta con fazzoletto a coprirle i capelli e una camicia aperta sul décolleté per mostrarci la collana con la croce, simbolo di una sincera e innocente fede (lo stesso ciondolo compare anche in altre opere di Albano, come il ritratto della sorella, di Evangeline e nei busti e nella scultura a figura intera della Margherita del Faust, tutti in collezioni private). La semplicità e la tenerezza del soggetto sono resi con una tecnica squisita; sempre citando De Gubernatis modellatore invidiabile dà alle carni modellate una singolare trasparenza, possiamo ritrovare questi aspetti nella delicatezza delle guance, del naso, del mento. La sua grande capacità scultorea compare soprattutto nei dettagli: i ciuffi che fuoriescono in modo molto naturale, la linea della piegatura del fazzoletto, il colletto della camicia che si ripiega su se stesso, l’uso del trapano per la resa dei capelli ricci. Conosciuto non solo in Italia ma anche oltreoceano, le sue opere si possono trovano in vari musei americani del nord (Filadelphia, Brooklyn Museum, Boston), del sud (monumento a Sebastiano Lerdo de Tejada a Città del Messico), in Canada (Montreal) e a Londra (Monumento al Generale McGregor nella Cattedrale di San Paolo).
