About the Item

Late 19th Century carved carrara marble sculpture, boy playing a guitar signed "La Serenata" Lapini. A beautiful and decorative finely detailed Italian 19th century white carrara marble statue signed Lapini by Cesare Lapini (1848-1893) who was an Italian sculptor. He worked in Florence and gained recognition for his skillful execution and romantic subject matter, which appealed to collectors during the late Victorian era. His works frequently depicted idealized figures, often young women or boys, engaged in artistic or leisurely pursuits. "La Serenata," meaning "The Serenade," is a common theme in art, evoking romanticism and musicality. This particular sculpture, featuring a boy playing the guitar, exemplifies Lapini's style, characterized by delicate carving, flowing drapery, and expressive faces. Such sculptures were popular decorative items for wealthy patrons and are now sought after by collectors of 19th-century European art. Cesare Lapini (1848 - 1893) - Born in Florence, Lapini was a famous and acclaimed Italian sculptor of the 19th century who sculpted both small marble and larger works. Many of his subjects were female and among his most recognized works are Sorpresa, a young woman surprised while disrobing, Il primo bacio, Quanto ti voglio bene, Non Ci Credo, Fior del pensiero; La Serenata, and Amore del mare. This is a nice piece in good condition, it does have some damage on the guitar strings and needs a good cleaning but overall a great piece.

A very fine Italian 19th century carved carrara marble sculpture Group Titled "LA GIOIA NELL'INNOCENZA DOPO IL LAVORO" (The Joy of Innocence After Labour) by Professor Raffaele Belliazzi (Italian, 1835-1917). The slender figure of the young boy, seated and resting on a rock with his hanging legs crossed and joyfully eating a cluster of grapes picked from his hat that is resting on his lap. The intricate carving of his shirt, jacket, pants, hat and boots with fine attention details such at the stitching, buttons, the hem on his pants, the wear on the soles of his boots and the features on his face makes this one of Belliazzi's finest known works. The sculpure rests on a dark green serpentine marble pedestal with a rotating top. Signed: Profor. Belliazzi, Carrara. Florence, circa 1870-1880. It may be possible to identify the present marble sculpture of a boy eating grapes...
