Sulla scultura
This bust representing a young man is made by Giovanni Bastianini in Italy in the mid 19th century. It shows the portrait of a man with short curling hair, wearing a skull cap and a close fitting robe fastened up the front.
Giovanni Bastianini (1830 – 1868) was an Italian sculptor who started as a stonecutter in the quarries at Fiesole. Bastianini's name became famous in relation to his skillfull art forgery.
Bastianini loved Renaissance sculpture and took this for his main inspiration. He worked with a Florentine art and antique dealer where he produced numerous neo-Renaissance works, most often busts and bas-reliefs in the style of Donatello, Verrocchio, Mino de Fiesole and other Italian masters.
