About the Item

1920s Art Déco patinated bronze bust of a young man with marble base by Italian sculptor Amadeo Gennarelli, France By: Amadeo Gennarelli Material: bronze, copper, tin, metal, marble, stone Technique: cast, molded, patinated, metalwork Dimensions: 3.5 in x 6.25 in x 9 in Date: early 20th century, circa 1920 Style: Art Déco Place of origin: France Italian sculptor Amadeo Gennarelli, who settled in France in the early 20th century, was known for his refined approach to form and emotion, qualities that define this 1920s Art Déco bronze bust. The figure of a young man, rendered with closed eyes and a gentle tilt of the head, captures a moment of introspection and quiet grace. The smooth surface of the patinated bronze emphasizes the softness of youth, while subtle modeling along the shoulders and neck adds depth and vitality to the composition. Resting on a rectangular marble base with mottled green and black tones, on which the signature of its creator can be found, the contrast between the cool solidity of the stone and the warm sheen of the metal enhances the sculpture’s sensuous balance. Gennarelli’s training in Italy and his later work in Paris come together here in a synthesis of classical sensitivity and modernist restraint, characteristic of the Art Déco aesthetic of the period.
