Doryphoros By Polykleitos

About the original.

The Veiled Lady is one of the numerous versions executed during the ’50s. Clearly alluding to a classical portrait bust, especially in the clean sweep of the lower edge, the bust transforms its prototype by the sensual treatment of stone and subject. The Veiled Lady (vestal virgin?) captures the perfection of innocence and youth, which, as the dew-fresh morning glories on her crown, will all too soon fade.

As in The Veiled Lady, the marble is carved so ingeniously and thinly as to appear transparent in those parts where it extends over the facial features.

Rafaello Monti (1818-1881) is rarely mentioned in standard Italian surveys of nineteenth-century sculpture. It is as though his self-willed exile to London for most of his working career banned him from any recognition in his native country. Yet, he was one of the period’s most prolific sculptors, and he continued to portray, in his inevitably sentimental style, themes dear to the Italian Risorgimento.1Born in Ticino, Monti was brought up in Milan. His training at the Brera Academy introduced him to Pietro Magni and Vincenzo Vela, disciples of the emergent Scuola Lombarda, or “Modern School of Milan,” which developed in the ’40s. The group sponsored a realist art steeped in social and political implications which were, above all, dedicated to the overthrow of Canova’s influence on sculpture. Whereas Monti, because of his travels to Vienna, Budapest, and eventually England, lacked the group’s militant zeal, his works nevertheless were influenced by their greater reliance on baroque devices, heightened realism, and sentimentality. Monti is perhaps best remembered for his veiled figures; in fact, he made them his forte. He revived the eighteenth-century tradition of the diaphanously draped figure and with it the veil’s connotations of revelation—sensuous or otherwise—and used both to demonstrate his technical brilliance.

This is a 3D printed product, so there may be minor defects (rough edges, bumps, etc). I have spent months building my own machines to exact specifications for accuracy and surface quality, and I scrutinize every model very closely. I use only the highest quality filament to ensure colors are vibrant and defects are kept to an absolute minimum for both your item and my machine. Every item in my shop is test printed and checked for not only aesthetics but also the intended use. All of my items I list I personally test to ensure they meet my stringent standards.
