Artist: Zacharie Rimbez
https://internationalantiques.eu/prodotto/zacharie-rimbez-19th-orientalist-marble-bust-of-armida/
Zacharie Rimbez (active between the 19th and 20th centuries). Orientalist bust in white marble depicting Armida, second half of the 19th century.
Armida is a Muslim sorceress, a character from Torquato Tasso’s *Jerusalem Delivered*. Armida is a young woman with blonde, curly hair, pale skin, and red lips, of such enchanting beauty that the author goes so far as to declare her the most beautiful woman who ever lived on Earth. Despite her young age, Armida possesses keen intelligence and a vigorous spirit, and has an extraordinary talent for the magical arts.
The figure of Armida has enjoyed extraordinary success in the art world, portrayed by the greatest masters of painting beginning with Gian Battista Tiepolo. In the second half of the nineteenth century, at the height of the artistic movement known as Orientalism, exotic poems such as *Jerusalem Delivered* served as a major source of inspiration for artists who often had never set foot in the East.
Zacharie Rimbez was a French Orientalist sculptor who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. His works consist mainly of busts, the best known of which remains "Armida." This bust is primarily known in bronze versions; marble versions are very rare.
Our bust is in excellent condition, free of restoration, and retains its original patina. It is signed "Z. Rimbez" on the shoulder. It rests on its original base made of white and red marble.
