Pietro Bazzanti Studio, after Henri Chapu (1833–1891) Joan of Arc at Domrémy In veined marble, engraved "P. Bazzanti Galleria, Florence" on the back; H. 48 cm, W. 33 cm, D. 28 cm The Florentine studio of P. Bazzanti (active since 1822) is a major figure in 19th-century sculpture, renowned for its reproductions of masterpieces and original creations intended for international collectors. Located on the Lungarno Corsini facing the Arno, the Galleria d’Arte Pietro Bazzanti e Figlio has been passed down through the generations, from Pietro the Elder and his son Niccolò to the famous Pietro Bazzanti (1825–1895), who brought it worldwide renown. During the era of the “Grand Tour,” this gallery attracted European aristocracy and leading American industrialists thanks to an exceptional catalog featuring copies of Greco-Roman antiquities, Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo, Canova’s neoclassical figures, as well as original genre sculptures inspired by Eastern or literary themes.
