Phenomenally RARE Original Art Deco Period Alabaster Bust Sculpture Signed A.Gory

This is a Genuine Antique French-Italian Hand-Sculpted Carved Life-Size ( 16\"H x 15\"W x 7\"D) Quality Alabaster Bust Sculpture

by one of the most talented sculptors of that perio, Affortunato Gory, Italian/French (1895 - 1925)

Affortunato Gory was born in Florence, Italy. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence under Augusto Rivalta.

In the beginning of the 20th century he moved to Paris and completed his education under Victorien-Antoine Basset.

He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1902, 1904, 1912, 1914 and 1923.

His oeuvre consists of sculptures of young women, children and some historical figures like Rembrandt en Dante.

He worked in alabaster, marble, bronze, ivory, often combining these materials in so-called chryselephantine figures.

Despite his tragically short life,he made his mark as one of the most brilliant talents of all time in his chosen medium

and some of his works have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars (including one of mine :))

and promise to continue appreciating much faster than money inany bank or bond savings certificate...

Sublime Ethereal Female Beautyperfectly executedwith neo-classicalfine-detailed feature elements

and graceful flowing tresses to a face that could easily have launched a thousand ships...

I call her MJ after the most beautiful woman I\'ve ever known who actually resembled her, sigh,

in all aspects of her goddess form exquisitelybrought to lifeby this fine Italian Artist who lived in France...

From a Private Collection she has been aprized treasure for over 50 years,

for your edification and education to truly appreciate the significance of this remarkable rendition

and rare opportunity to acquire a quality heirloom addition to enhance your life on a daily basis...

is one of the finest examples of a neo-classical crescendo in the panoply of Western civilization...
