Art Deco Bronze Sculpture By A. Calendi "triumph Of Youth"

Art Deco sculpture in gold-patinated bronze, created by the Italian sculptor Armando Calendi. It represents an idealized young nude woman, standing on an irregular base covered with a lion's skin. The left arm is raised, bent at the elbow and pointed towards the sky, while the right hand is pressed against the forehead, as if to protect it from the bright light and express an allegory of "greeting" or "awakening."
Signed.

Armando Calendi (1882–1943) was an Italian sculptor of the early 20th century, known for his decorative compositions of female nudes, children, and mythological sculptures. His work often features elegantly elongated female figures, typical of the Liberty (Italian Art Nouveau) and Art Deco styles: soft lines, decorative poses, and idealized youth. The sculptor often created miniature indoor sculptures, intended to decorate desks, fireplaces or consoles, intended for the European and North American bourgeois markets. A. Calendi used various materials and techniques for his works: gilded bronze, polychromy, marble, terracotta.
