Mid 19th Pair Of Neoclassical Sculptures In Yellow Alabaster Allegories

€4,300.00

A refined pair of Roman sculptures in finely carved yellow alabaster, dating from the mid-19th century, a clear expression of the classicist taste associated with the tradition of the European Grand Tour.
The two female figures, characterized by the elegant and sinuous drapery of their ancient-style garments, personify the allegories of the seasons: Summer (Ceres), identifiable by the figure clutching a bountiful sheaf of wheat in her arms—a symbol of the harvest and the earth’s fertility; Fall (Pomona), represented by the figure carrying bunches of grapes and grapevines, symbols associated with the grape harvest and autumnal abundance. The work stands out for its attention to detail, evident in the three-dimensionality of the gathered curly hairstyles, the delicacy of the facial features, and the skill with which the sculptor rendered the fluidity of the fabrics.
The choice of yellow alabaster lends the works an extraordinary natural luminosity and a highly sought-after warm, translucent hue.
