Portrait of Italian 18th Century

1750–1899

Italian 18th Century was a Baroque artist. 20 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This Italian artist carved bronze figures in the 18th century, blending myth and motion in metal. Look for A Warrior Fighting a Centaur, its bronze muscles tense under a warm brown patina, or Rearing Horse, mid-air and full of strain. The small bronze Andiron: Vulcan with His Anvil shows a god bent over his forge. If you like the energy of bronze, tap Rearing Horse; if ink drawings intrigue you, try Study of a Standing Woman.
