About the Item
Unique and precious lost-wax bronze sculpture. Entitled "Marching Soldiers," it depicts two marching soldiers, their legs apart, wearing the distinctive helmet of a World War II infantry regiment, a rifle resting on their back, and a cape billowing in the wind, positioned on a rectangular base. The sculpture is typically Futurist, an expression of an avant-garde movement, with evident influences from Cubism and Surrealism, with a quest for three-dimensionality that reflects the dynamism and energy of the modern world, known as "plastic dynamism." It is in excellent condition, with the artist's monogram "D. B." on the back leg, allowing it to be attributed to the Venetian artist Renato Di Bosso (1905-1982), a leading exponent of Futurism, heavily influenced by the works of Boccioni. A sketch of the sculpture, painted by the artist and dated 1936, also survives. This is a highly valuable and unique work, capable of enhancing any space with a touch of elegance and history. Italian manufacture from the 1930s of the 20th century.
