Modesty (Corradini Sculpture)
''Modesty'' or ''Chastity'' ( it, La Pudicizia) or ''Veiled Truth'' by Antonio Corradini is a sculpture completed in 1752 during the Rococo period. Corradini was commissioned by Raimondo di Sangro to sculpt a memorial for his mother in the Cappella Sansevero in Naples, where the marble sculpture remains today. About the work Corradini worked mostly in Venice but also spent some time in Vienna and Naples before his death in 1752. ''Modesty'' was the last in Corradini's series of veiled female nudes, a subject he developed and refined throughout his career. His mastery of the medium of marble is seen in the increasingly skilled representation of seemingly weightless cloth over human flesh in his commissioned pieces. ''Modesty'' is positioned on a pedestal in the chapel and can sometimes be lost in the beauty of the space and its surrounding statues created by other various artists. Raimondo wanted this commemoration to depict his mother's untimely death when he was not even a ye ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
