About the Item
One-of-a-kind natural mineral specimen sculpture, entitled "Venice Rising," created from an 18th-century Italian patinated parcel-giltwood candlestick and embellished with quartz, muscovite, and Madagascar opalescent ammonites. This is a lovely objet d'art to add to your collection or cabinet.
During the Renaissance, Cabinets of Art and Curiosity were developed for the essential expressions of human ingenuity and virtuosity. Through the transformation of raw materials, such as nautilus shell, into masterful works of art, a dialogue between art and nature could be initiated. These objects seem to have no other purpose than to be admired. Usually quite small, they were meant to be picked up and inspected closely. Objects were studied deeply like books, sparking discussions between scholars, intellectuals, and Cabinet visitors.
