Sterling-Silver Figural Sculpture "The Rape of the Sabine Women". <br><br>H:28cm D:11cm Wt:2080g<br>"The Rape of the Sabine Women" ranks among the supreme sculptural masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, endowed with immense artistic power. An Art?Nouveau?era sculptor reproduced this iconic composition as a scaled?down silver carving. Superbly executed, it possesses tremendous artistic impact. The sculpture portrays three intertwined figures unified into a single artistic whole, composed through tension and equilibrium of counter?poised forces, designed to be appreciated from all viewpoints. The carver masterfully interweaves the movements of the three forms while maintaining precise balance. Continuous gestures draw the viewer's gaze spiralling upward. The figures' bodies twist around a vertical axis, generating a powerful upward spiralling dynamism.
