About the Item
George Valentine Dureau (1930–2014), “Doing the Pollaiuolo at the New Firenze,” Monumental Oil on Canvas, American, 1997
Monumental oil on canvas by American artist George Valentine Dureau, titled “Doing the Pollaiuolo at the New Firenze.” Measuring an impressive 120 x 102 inches, this large-scale work exemplifies Dureau’s masterful blend of classical inspiration, surreal imagination, and expressive modernism.
Dureau draws upon Antonio del Pollaiuolo’s Renaissance themes, particularly The Battle of the Nudes, a celebrated study of the human form in motion. Pollaiuolo’s fascination with anatomy and classical energy is reinterpreted here through Dureau’s distinct, poetic lens — infusing mythological narrative with psychological depth and dreamlike intensity.
Rendered with fluid brushwork and dramatic composition, this surreal, classically inspired scene stands as a powerful statement piece, merging Renaissance humanism with 20th-century expression.
A significant and museum-worthy example of George Dureau’s exploration of the heroic, the sensual, and the allegorical, reflecting his lifelong dialogue between beauty and movement.
