REQUEST INFORMATION
Large marble medallion depicting the profile of a Satyr, circle of Giovanni Bonazza, first half of the 18th century.
Giovanni Bonazza was the founder of a family of sculptors who worked between the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in the Paduan area. He was a pupil of Giusto Le Court (to whom he always remained linked in style) and Filippo Parodi and was active in Venice, Treviso, in the Polesine area and especially in Padua, where he moved in 1696 or 1697. He had numerous children, including Francesco, Tommaso and Antonio, also talented artists. His fundamental qualities are movement, due to the emphasis on line and light, which gives an agitated but essentially tender body, a lighter interpretation of chiaroscuro and a less nervous vibration than that learned from Parodi.
His characters are strongly characterized, the face often twisted in grimaces that recall the sly grin of our satyr on which, with great realism, large warts appear: just think of the "Bust of Bacchus" or the "Bust of Heraclitus" but also the "Head of a Satyr" by Bonazza.
The marble medallion has a small old conservative restoration in the background.
