"Alfredo Pina - Head Of Bacchus"
Bronze Head of Bacchus after Alfredo Pina, the glossy black patina particularly highlights all the meticulous details. The signature A. Pina is present; the wooden base could use some restoration.
This piece is characteristic of the style of Alfredo Piña (1887 Milan - 1966 France), an Italian sculptor trained at the Brera Academy in Milan before settling in Paris, where he exhibited at the Salon from 1912. He was also a student of Rodin.
His works, especially his sculpted busts and heads, are sought after for their artistic quality and their patina typical of the Art Deco period.
