A late 17th Italian carved limewood figure of Mermaid, circle of Filippo Parodi
Located in PARIS, FR
A late 17th c. Italian carved figure of Mermaid, Circle of Filippo Parodi (Genoa, 1630 – July 22, 1702) Dimensions: h. 29.13 in, w. 30.31 in, p. 18.9 in (at the base) Magnificent Italian Baroque sculpture depicting a mermaid seated on the rock. All the virtuosity of the sculptor unfolds in this carved group. The fantastic creature is featured seated, the upper part of the body darting forward, the head looking upwards. Sophisticated hairstyle with rows of pearls intertwined in her hair, her loose locks fly in the wind and bring movement to the whole sculpture. The wide-open eyes with hollowed-out pupils make it possible to follow the mermaid's gaze, towards the sky. The half-open mouth further magnifies this bewitching and seductive attitude. Its long double tail ending in fins wraps on either side of a rocky mound strewn with objects evoking the underwater world: seashells and shells, branches of coral. The ornamental richness combined with the great care taken in its execution make it a work in which the splendor of Italian Baroque art unfolds in such characteristic scenic movement. The composition betrays a strong influence from Filippo Parodi, the leader of Genoese Baroque sculpture, and points to an artist from his circle. Our sculpture was probably part of a decorative monumental palace. The iconographic theme evoking the marine world finds its application in the numerous fountains and artificial grottos, designed in Italian palaces at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. Giacomo Filippo Parodi (Genoa 1630 – July 22, 1702) was an Italian Baroque sculptor of the Genoese school, who introduced Bernini's aesthetic to Genoa. In his youth fathers a first apprenticeship with a carpenter, he went to Rome where he became a pupil of Bernini. He had the opportunity to admire in person the works and style of the French sculptor Pierre Puget...

Italy, early 17th century - Seated Faun - Bronze
Located in Paris, Île-de-France
Unknown Artist (Italy, early 17th century) Seated Faun Bronze on a marble base (later), 32 cm in height Provenance: Private collection This bronze depicts a faun, a mythological figure from ancient Rome often associated with nature and fertility, embodying both human and animal attributes. The faun is portrayed here in a dynamic posture, seated on a marble base, which, though added later, enhances the sculptural dimension of the piece. His muscular and tense body seems to capture a moment of jubilation or exuberant pleasure, as evidenced by his upturned face and open mouth in an ecstatic smile. This expressive gesture, along with the casual positioning of his raised arm behind his head, evokes the freedom and hedonism traditionally associated with these mythological creatures. The quality of the bronze craftsmanship is remarkable, particularly in the muscular details and the expressiveness of the face, signs of technical mastery typical of late Renaissance and early Baroque Italian sculpture. The faun's legs are muscular but also marked by hooves, emphasizing his hybrid nature, half-human and half-animal. This hybridity reflects an iconographic tradition in which fauns are often associated with debauchery and wild living, removed from human society. Seventeenth-century Italy, particularly Rome and Florence, was a hub of prolific artistic production, with artists such as Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Alessandro Algardi...
