Sirio Tofanari

Sirio Tofanari was born in Florence on April 9, 1886. Tofanari is recognized as one of the foremost sculptors of the Animalier movement in Italy. He was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He took part from 1909–34 in all editions of the Venice Biennale, while in the Rome Quadriennale, an entire pavilion was dedicated to him. His works can be admired in keynote galleries both in Italy and abroad like Rome, Florence, Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Bahia Blanca, Santa Fe, Rio de Janeiro and San Paolo. In 1949, the President of the Republic issued a decree appointing him a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. Tofanari died on October 12, 1969, in Milan.

"Male Athlete with Kettlebell", Rare Bronze Sculpture with Male Nude by Seifert
By Franz Seifert
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This highly rare bronze of a nude male athlete preparing to left a heavy kettlebell weight was sculpted by an Austrian artist, Franz Seifert, in 1922. Although Seifert is known for his nude figures straining to accomplish physical tasks -- such as carrying a large bucket or splitting a stone -- this sculpture is the only example known to exist. A decade after this sculpture was cast, Seifert carved a marble portrait of Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the gasoline-powered car, for a monument in Vienna, which includes a nude male figure in bas relief racing forward on the upper edge of an automobile wheel. He also created a large sculpture grouping honoring Empress Elizabeth...
