Note du spécialiste



Ferdinando Vichi, the well-established sculptor from the Florentine School, was associated with the prolific gallery of Pietro Barzanti. His compositions in alabaster and marble cover a range of subjects including Orientalism, allegorical themes and, as in the present lot, works of Greco-Roman inspiration. The pinnacle of his career was his involvement in the 1898 memorial erected in the cathedral of Santa Croce to honour the composer Gioacchino Rossini.
