Renaissance Woman – Terracotta Bust by Luca Madrassi
$3,000.00
Or Best OfferAn elegant terracotta bust of a young woman in ornate Renaissance attire, signed L. Madrassi on the reverse, attributed to Luca Madrassi, a celebrated sculptor of Italian-French origin who exhibited widely in Paris during the late 19th century.
This refined composition highlights Madrassi’s academic background and mastery of idealized female portraiture. The subject is adorned with intricately modeled drapery, beaded necklaces, and detailed lacework, all rendered in warm patinated terracotta. Her serene expression and softly inclined head evoke a poetic sensibility aligned with romantic classicism.
A fine collector’s example of Belle Époque sculpture, well-suited for display in traditional, classical, or academic interiors.
Signed "L. Madrassi" on the reverse of the bust.
