Bronze Study After Marino Marini, Italy ca. 1975

A high quality and well executed study in bronze after Marino Marini’s sexually-charged sculpture L’ Angelo della Città -The Angel of the City- signed L.Luciano, Italy, circa 1975. L’ Angelo della Città, 1948, depicts a figure in euphoria atop what appears to be a stunted, strained horse. The original sculpture after which this study is made, is a must-see as a seminal work by the celebrated Italian artist Marino Marini. The original sculpture with dimensions 65 15/16 x 41 3/4 inches (167.5 x 106 cm) is part Part of Peggy Guggenheim’s landmark collection of modern art and is situated in Venice, overlooking the Grand Canal in front of the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni.
