Pair of carved and gilded mirrors 'alla Sansovino' Venetian (or Tuscan) carver active in the 18th century Carved and gilded wood Total frame dimensions: 86 x 60 cm. Light dimensions: 40 x 29 cm. The complete details of this work can be found directly from the following - LINK - This precious pair of Venetian frames, the work of an 18th-century carver, displays all their opulence, sculpted in high relief with a rich decoration of intertwined volutes, festoons and garlands of fruit with winged angel heads and female masks in the upper central part. These are two beautiful works defined as Sansovinian, or 'alla Sansovino'; characterized by an exuberance of decorative motifs taken from classical antiquity, partially superimposed, intended to create chiaroscuro contrasts of great impact. The name derives from the famous Florentine Renaissance architect and sculptor Jacopo Sansovino (1486-1570), who trained in Rome and then moved to Venice, introducing Roman classicism into the elegant Venetian architectures and harmoniously integrating the monumental style of Mannerism with a taste for meticulous ornamentation. His unique style, therefore, which has been taken up by our carver, represents the recovery of a certain Mannerist classicism, but which somehow anticipates the typical Baroque movement. The frames, intact in the carved part, have been perfectly cleaned and restored in our laboratory. The mirrors are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and descriptive sheet.
