BERNINI

The bronze proposed here was initially presented in November 1878 at the Competition for the Encouragement of Brera. It is therefore one of the first celebratory works of the sculptor Ambrogio Borghi (Nova Milanese 1848 - Milano 1887) author of the best known sculpture "La chioma di Berenice". The work, "Il Bernini" was later exhibited at the “Esposizione Generale Italiana” in Turin in 1884 in a larger version, accompanied by the sculptor’s tools. The smelters, as can be seen from the engraving, are the milanese "Barigozzi and Barzaghi" of whom Borghi was also an assistant. The work of the latter is rendered in detail, with extreme cleanliness and precision, the smoothing of the surfaces and the chiseling underline a care in keeping with the importance of the work.
