After Jean de Bologne (1529-1608) - Fortuna, chiseled bronze with green patina, circa 1830-1850

A beautiful subject, Fortuna. The original model of Fortuna was attributed to Giambologna or Jean de Bologne in 1973 by Watson and Avery, in their article "Medici and Stuart: a Grand-Ducal Gift of 'Giovanni Bologna' Bronzes for Henry Prince of Wales," published in Burlington Magazine, CXV, 1973, pp. 493-507. They uncovered documents confirming that Giambologna had designed a nude female figure of Fortune holding a veil. They concluded that Fortune could have been conceived as a pendant to the sculptor's Mercury, as the two poses mirror each other.

Fortuna, an elegant bronze finely chiseled with a beautiful green patina, depicts a nude woman holding a veil that drapes above her head. It rests on a Siena marble base.

After Giambologna or Jean de Bologne, Italian work from the first half of the 19th century, circa 1830-1850.

Dimensions: Height 16.9 inches - Diameter 4.5 inches.

In very good condition, with minor chips on the marble.
