Mid-Century Italian Medici Lions On Marble Base

Mid-Century Italian Medici Lions On Marble Base

$289.00

A fabulous mid-20th Century Italian reproduction of the Medici Lions in the form of bookends. These lions were originally sculpted in marble and were required by Ferdinando de'Medici, the Grand Duke Of Tuscany, in 1576 to serve as majestic ornments for the villa's garden staircase.

The sculptures depict standing male lions with a sphere or ball under one paw, looking to the side. These beautiful bookends were made of reproduced marble and they sit atop of black marble bases.

The sculptures were replaced by copies at the Villa Medici when Napoleon relocated the French Academy in Rome to the villa in 1803 while the originals were moved to Florence and to this day they flank the steps to the Loggia deo Lanzi at the Piazza della Signoria.

Signed by artist A. Santini and marked Italy

Santini is known for developing the process of combining marble, alabaster and resin to create high quality reproductions of classic art pieces. This material was then poured into molds made by Santini and after hardening at room temperature, the figure was taken out and completely finished by hand in the very old artistic Italian tradition and style that the great masters of marble handed down through the ages.
