Grand Tour Sculptures
GRAND TOUR STYLE
For 18th-century young British noblemen, no education was complete without a year on the Grand Tour. Although it had no official route, the Grand Tour focused on places foundational to European art, literature and architecture, including sites in France, Germany, Switzerland and, most importantly, Italy. It was an opportunity not just to witness the roots of the classics they had studied but also to take some of it home. Grand Tour furniture was among the souvenirs.
Grand Tour furniture ranged from marble architectural models replicating ancient wonders to actual antiquities often taken illicitly, leaving a legacy of looting still being unraveled today. Other items reflected the artistic richness of the Renaissance cities and other destinations. In Italy, this included scagliola tables and pedestals mimicking marble as well as tabletops and wall panels embedded with pietra dura hard stone mosaics.
Furniture was also developed to display Grand Tour purchases in the owner’s home, presenting them as a cultivated and well-traveled person. Mahogany collector’s cabinets held objects like intaglio moldings of coins and seals while others had specialized drawers that framed pietra dura panels.
Many objects were specifically produced for Grand Tour collectors. Often accompanied by retinues on journeys lasting months or years, the elite travelers, the wealthiest of whom extended their trips to Egypt and the Holy Land, required artful personal mementos befitting the experience. For example, Grand Tour micromosaics — small artworks, most not more than two inches wide — arose from the entrepreneurial impulses of artisans who had trained in the Vatican’s workshops.
Grand Tour journeys would help inform a range of decorative styles such as neoclassical, Rococo and Adam style. (Architect and designer Robert Adam toured Italy and France for five years.) The Grand Tour flourished at a time of economic prosperity and political stability, but the French Revolution in 1789 brought it to an end. Yet as the tradition faded in popularity in England, the rising wealth of the United States led to an increase in tourism across the Atlantic and a similar passion for collecting to show one’s worldliness.

Chiurazzi Bronze Sculpture of the The Neapolitan Fisherman after the Antique
Located in Stockholm, SE
This superbly worked bronze sculpture with a beautiful patina by the Neapolitan foundry Fonderia Chiurazzi is a full-scale (1:1) replica of the original now preserved in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
The male figure is clad in a short tunic and cap, his head turned slightly to the right, both arms outstretched, his left hand holding a small basket. He is seated on a rocky outcrop adorned with shells, and between his legs runs a small fountain head in the form of a Bacchus mask. Measuring 55 cm in height, the sculpture demonstrates refined workmanship and a rich, natural patina. It is unusual to find the basket with the sculpture.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chiurazzi produced type of bronzes in various sizes and finishes, but this particular casting is of notably high quality for its type and bears the foundry’s impressed mark Fonderia Chiurazzi.
The original Roman bronze fountain figure, commonly known as The Neapolitan Fisherman, was uncovered in 1823 during archaeological excavations at Pompeii, within the Casa della Fontana Piccola (House of the Little Fountain). This find formed part of a richly decorated mosaic fountain ensemble surrounded by four statuettes, among them a seated angler wearing an exomis (tunic) and holding a fishing rod and basket, an image that perfectly captures a moment of relaxed domestic life in a Roman household.
The original layout of the fountain and its sculptures can be seen in Giuseppe Abbate’s illustration, Mosaic Fountain Sculptures in the House of the Small Fountain, Pompeii, published by the Nicolini brothers in 1854. Abbate’s illustration provides a valuable visual record of how the fountain originally appeared, showing the arrangement of the fisherman, the sister bronze Cupid with Goose, the mosaic basin, and its decorative motifs.
Artist Luigi Bazzani also vividly captured Pompeii’s domestic elegance in his watercolor paintings. One shows another similar fountain scene, depicting how such spaces may have looked during Pompeii’s flourishing years, with richly ornamented walls, bright mosaics, and sculptural fountains glimmering in sunlight. Another watercolor by Bazzani, painted in 1919, directly portrays the Neapolitan Fisherman in situ at Pompeii.
Scholars trace the fisherman’s prototype back to a Hellenistic original of the late 3rd century BCE. Hellenistic sculptural models continued to influence Roman art well into the first centuries CE.
The Fonderia Chiurazzi was established in Naples in 1870 by Gennaro Chiurazzi, a pupil of sculptor Pietro Masulli, who had pioneered the use of the lost-wax casting technique for accurate reproductions of classical bronzes.
After Italian unification (1861), the Naples Archaeological Museum, formerly the Royal Bourbon Museum, began issuing permits to selected workshops to reproduce its vast collections from Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae. Chiurazzi excelled in this field, combining industrial precision with hand-tooled artistry to produce faithful, museum-quality casts.
By the turn of the 20th century, Chiurazzi bronzes...
