A. del Verrocchio's Original Bronze Sculpture: Cherub Angel Putto with a Dolphin - 16" x 7"
Andrea del Verrocchio, a prominent sculptor of the Renaissance era, played a crucial role bridging the artistic legacies of Donatello and Michelangelo. His contributions were distinguished by unparalleled technical prowess, breathtaking naturalism, and enduring beauty. By the age of 30, Verrocchio had already solidified his mastery, earning the trust of the influential Medici family to craft some of Florence's most significant bronze sculptures. One such notable creation is the bronze sculpture titled "Putto with a Dolphin," a testament to Verrocchio's skill and artistic vision. Employing the intricate lost wax method, the sculpture captures the essence of youthful exuberance and classical elegance. Enhanced by a bronze patina, the piece radiates warmth and character, establishing a visual harmony that resonates with the artistic spirit of the Renaissance. Presented on a round black marble base, this sculpture not only offers stability but also serves as a complementary foundation for the artwork. Verrocchio's "Putto with a Dolphin" stands as a representation of its creator's artistic achievements and serves as a timeless embodiment of Renaissance aesthetics.
This is an A. del Verrocchio inspired bronze sculpture, bearing the artist signature.
