About the Item
Monumental Bronze Sea Turtle Sculpture on Marble Base, Late 20th Century
A striking and highly sculptural bronze composition depicting two sea turtles in upward motion, one ascending dramatically above the other, unified by a rugged, organic coral- or rock-form support. Cast with exceptional attention to surface detail, the turtles’ shells display finely articulated scutes with naturalistic fissuring, while the flippers and heads are rendered with convincing anatomical realism and fluid movement.
The bronze surface is finished in a rich, nuanced patina ranging from deep brown to olive and subtle verdigris highlights, enhancing depth and texture throughout the composition. The sculpture is signed with an incised artist’s cipher reading “SPI” on the bronze base, suggesting an individual studio artist or limited production workshop.
The work is mounted on a substantial polished green marble base, providing both visual contrast and structural stability. The vertical format and upward motion give the piece a strong sense of ascent and vitality, making it particularly effective as a statement sculpture in a coastal, modern, or nature-inspired interior.
Dimensions:
Bronze sculpture: approx. 27" H x 19" W x 8" D
