About the Item

Iron sculpture of a Highland bull by Vittorio Piotti, modeled with the artist’s distinctive laminar, highly textured surface. The animal’s form is built through overlapping ridges, scales and irregular fragments, creating a vibrant, almost shimmering skin that suggests movement rather than describing it naturalistically. The compact, monumental volume of the body contrasts with the dynamic twist of the head and the wide, sweeping horns, giving the sculpture a powerful, archaic presence. The raw, oxidized tones of the iron enhance the rugged expressionism of the piece and highlight Piotti’s ability to transform animal subjects into vigorous, primal sculptural forms. Signed V. Piotti
