Dal Modello di Andrea del Verrocchio - Sculpture, Putto col delfino - 73 cm - Alloy
Sculpture, Putto with dolphin by Verrocchio - Metal alloy
From the model of the famous artist Andrea di Verrocchio
---
A winged putto with a boyish expression holds a dolphin in his hand, stylized according to the style of the time which represented it as a large fish. The water of the fountain came out of the dolphin's mouth and nostrils and splashed upwards as it fell.
In it we perceive echoes of the dynamic naturalism learned from Desiderio da Settignano, who directed him towards the transfiguration of the sculptural material into soft smooth forms, while the subject derives from the ancient, but reinterpreted in a smiling dancing putto, in precarious balance, with the cloak that sticks to the back and the wet forelock, stuck to the forehead.
