RINALDO RINALDI (PADOUE, 1793 - ROME, 1873)
Vestale Carrara marble group
Signed at the bottom on the edge of the plinth:
R. Rinaldi F/Roma.
Height 104 cm
Small accidents
Rinaldi was a pupil of Leopoldo Cicognara and Matteini in Venice, but above all of Antonio Canova in Rome, where he completed his training. He was deeply influenced by the style of the master of Neo-Clacissism, whose considerable reputation left a lasting impression on his generation and the next. If this is particularly visible here through the care the artist took in the use of a very pure marble - with a few veins running through it - and a certain synthesizing of forms, but also of the incense burner formed of a tangle of snakes, this vestal with its turbaned head also bears witness to a certain exotic romanticism at a time when a taste for the East was setting Europe on fire even before the middle of the century. In this, Rinaldi is close to the style of his contemporary Democrito Gandolfi (Bologna, 1797 - 1874)
