About the Item

North Italian, Veneto, circa 1700 Bust of a classical woman, possibly Diana Marble, on a variegated grey marble socle 41.5 cm. high / 16 ¼ ins (the bust), 56 cm. / 22 ins high, overall PROVENANCE: Private collection, Spain The present bust is part of a tradition of expressive mythological busts made in the Veneto in the second half of the 17th and early 18th century, in which a clear differentiation is made between the smoothly polished skin and drapery and the rougher rendering of the hair using a claw chisel, particularly at the back of the head. The sculptor depicts the subject with full cheeks and long, flowing locks of hair, her mouth slightly open and her head raised to sinister in an expression of ecstasy or joy. Her hair is executed in long, flowing strands which are wind-swept and deeply drilled in the Baroque manner. The classical drapery and ribbon may identify the subject of this bust as Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting and the moon (Artemis to the Greeks), who is typically portrayed with a ribbon or strap securing the quiver for her bow and arrows, as well as a crescent moon (a feature not shown here). A bust of Diana attributed to Juste Le Court (1627-78), who settled in Venice around 1655, is also carved with a ribbon around the right shoulder in a fashion not dissimilar to the present work (see Sotheby’s, New York, 23 May 2012, lot 490). RELATED LITERATURE: Andrea Bacchi (ed.), 'La Scultura a Venezia da Sansovino a Canova', Milan, 2000, pp. 731-32, fig. 365
