 Francesco Barzaghi (Barzaghi; Italian. Francesco Barzaghi; 1839-1892) - Italian sculptor of the new school of realists.


Francesco Barzaghi was a virtuoso in working with various materials: marble, stone and bronze. In each of them, he created works filled with realism, but with notes of romance and neoclassicism. His works can also be classified as academic.


He studied at the Brera School of Sculpture and achieved success with his religious and mythological scenes.
The sculptor's fame grew internationally.


For example, he achieved great success in Paris. He focused his career in Italy, where he worked on gender sculpture, portraits and monuments of famous people of the time in his country, such as Garibaldi, Verdi or Hayes.
Barzaghi belonged to the Milanese Zacapigliatura movement: it consisted of young poets, musicians and artists in general who rebelled against traditional culture.


As a sculptor, Barzaghi became one of the most accomplished craftsmen of his generation in the art of stone modeling. He achieved exceptionally fine detail while maintaining the vibrancy and vitality of his anatomy.


He received praise for his sensual marble sculptures of mythological women, which included his Amore Acceca, Silvia che si Specchia, Psyche, La Vanerell, L'Innocennza and Dea dei Fiori.

The sculpture represents a famous biblical story, which tells the story of the pharaoh’s daughter who went to swim in the river with her maids. They noticed a basket on the water with a baby, the son of Jews. She ordered the girls to bring the child to her and, feeling sorry for him, decided to protect him: she took him in as her son.

 🖌️🎨Veneta Docheva (born 1974) - Bulgarian watercolor artist. Clarity of lines and freedom of color Favorite materials: Escoda brushes, flat Chinese brushes; Saunders Grain Fin paper, Arches Rough, Mijello watercolor. Veneta Docheva was born in 1974 in Sofia. She studied painting on her own. Here is how Veneta tells about herself: "There was only one decent art school in Sofia. I really wanted to go there. I got a "C" on the first exam, decided that I wouldn't get in anyway at this rate, and helped all my "competitors" during the watercolor exam - I painted their works. By the way, I passed the watercolor exam with flying colors. But I was never accepted into the art school. I was upset and gave up drawing for about ten years. After high school, I entered the law faculty. When I was 22-23 years old, I went with my parents to an exhibition of an artist who began painting at the age of 50. We bought one of his paintings, talked, and he said that he believed...

🗿 Louis Sussmann-Hellborn (1828-1908) was a German sculptor, artist, and collector. Marble "Sleeping Beauty" (German: "Dornröschen") 1878 Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin The name of Hellborn's sculpture seems to have been lost in history, but in 1878, when he created this piece, he was in fact an established artist and a prominent figure in Berlin, with enough money to sponsor the arts (he was one of the founders of the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts) and to create large marble sculptures like this one. The sweet image of Sleeping Beauty, surrounded by delicate branches of roses, rests in a luxurious marble chair, where the German sculptor Louis-Sussmann Hellborn placed her more than a hundred years ago. A metal spindle stands out at the girl's feet, reminding us that it was this that led her to this terrible fate. The dress and chair are entwined with roses, because the girl has been sleeping for a century. While Beauty slept, Germany was awakening from a rec...

🗿Eddy Roos (Amsterdam, born 1949) is a Dutch artist and sculptor

Зображення
 🗿 Eddy Roos (Amsterdam, born 1949) is a Dutch artist and sculptor. He has also directed 42 dance films and designed gardens. The former curator of the Groningen estate, Mrs. Tine Clevering-Meijer, invited the sculptor from Amsterdam (Hogelande) to implement her ideas in the form of such a sculpture garden in the estate. Eddy Roos cherished the dream of his own sculpture garden, enchanted by the sculpture garden of Aristide Maillol in the Louvre in Paris. He was also attracted by the example of Brancusi, who realized a similar project in a Romanian town, which attracted him more. Since 1967, Mrs. Clevering has been redesigning the landscape garden around the estate, dating back to the 13th century and belonging to the Ommeland family Tjarda van Starkenborgh. A garden was laid out on the estate. The gardens that the 16th-century architect Vredeman de Vries introduced in the Northern Netherlands were taken as an example. Roos developed a balanced project to accommodate thirteen bron...
