About the Item

Cercle of Juan Martinez Montañés (1568-1649) Infant St John the Baptist Spanish, 17th century H 74 cm Saint John the Baptist is here represented naked, sitting on a rock, with the arms raised halfway. The beautiful head is crowned by curly hair forming a point above the forehead. The curly, dark hair frames a serene face with plump cheeks and small lips. The artist realized a tender figure, intended to touch the heart of the faithful. This rare and superbly carved sculpted figure of the Infant St John the Baptist shares affinities with the work of the celebrated Spanish sculptor Juan Martinez Montañés know as “el dios de la madera”. The present figure shares the diminuitive nose, the glass eyes and small mouth with Montañés Infant models. The eyelashes and the hairs, individually delineated, as also the characteristic trapezoid shaped face are comparable with Montañés production. Bibliography: B.G.

Carlo Marcellini Florence 1644 – 1713 , Florentine Baroque Putto
Located in Bruxelles, BE
Carlo Marcellini (Florence 1644 – 1713) Putto White and green marble 41.5 x 73.5 cm This marble putto carved in high relief, almost a tutto tondo, and set on an elegant green marble background, appears almost naked, sitting on a cloud. His peculiar pose, in adoration, suggests that the work was a part of a larger composition including other figures in devotion. Published in 2007 by Sandro Bellesi in the monograph dedicated to Gioacchino Fortini (pg.155), this beautiful marble putto was included in the catalog of Carlo Marcellini, a prominent figure in the baroque renewal of Florentine art. Born in Florence in 1644, Carlo Marcellini received his artistic education in the city of the lily, specializing in stone sculpture and stucco modeling under the guidance of Bartolomeo Cennini before continuing his studies in Rome in the Accademia Medicea founded by the Grand Duke Cosimo III in order to familiarize some more promising artists with the essential “ taste of Rome ”. Under the guidance of Ercole Ferrata and Ciro Ferri, Giovan Battista Foggini...
