Bronze salamander

Italy, 17th century

Patinated bronze

4 x 17 x 10 cm

This finely cast bronze salamander exemplifies the 17th-century fascination with naturalistic forms and animal symbolism. Rendered with remarkable detail and lifelike movement, the creature's sinuous body and textured skin reflect both artistic craftsmanship and scientific curiosity of the period. Often associated with fire and transformation in Renaissance and later symbolism, the salamander here may also have served as a decorative object or paperweight.
