Circumference Niccolò RoccatagliataPutto with palm branch. 1st half 17th century Hollow bronze with brown-black patina on a decorative bronze plinth and mounted on a marble base. 15 x 4 x 5 cm (dimensions with plinth). On a light brown marble base. - Slightly dusty in the recesses. The copper patina somewhat oxidized in the area of the loins. Very good overall. Excellent cast with lively patina. Ancient art - sculpture by Niccolò Roccatagliata Putto with palm branch. 1st half 17th century Hollow bronze with brown-black patina on a decorative bronze plinth and mounted on a marble base. 15 x 4 x 5 cm (dimensions with plinth). On a light brown marble base. - Slightly dusty in the recesses. The copper patina somewhat oxidized in the area of the loins. Very good overall. Excellent casting with lively patina. Attributable to the circle of the sculptor Niccolò Roccatagliata, who was active in Venice, our putto is characterized by the charmingly curled hair, playfully standing in contrapposto and holding a palm branch in his left hand. The hair curled particularly high above the forehead and the heavy eyelids, which are present in our bronze, are a characteristic feature typical of the Roccatagliata workshop. The workshop, which was located in Venice, was initially run by Nicolò Roccatagliata and after his death in 1629 by his son Sebastiano Nicolini. The Roccatagliatas made a significant contribution to the further development and important position of Venetian sculpture in the 17th century - especially in the area of decorating sacred spaces. Niccolò Roccatagliata mainly produced reliefs, angels and other bronze objects for churches. In his conceptual orientation, he was still largely influenced by the preceding Renaissance and concentrated on the so-called "style all'antica", which took the ancient ideal type as a model, although in keeping with the Baroque, the figures were designed to be more opulent and expansive than in the Renaissance. The putti of the Roccatagliatas in particular, which are a popular motif, stand out in their animated, playful and painterly character. Hollow bronze with golden patina. On a light brown marble base. - Slightly dusted in deepenings. The copper patina slightly oxidized in spots in the loin area. Overall very good.
