Lot 44

Description

An Italian marble octagonal relief,
Probably Rome, in the manner of Alessandro Algardi, 1595/98-1654, mid-17th century,
Carved with a putto blowing a conch shell seated on a hippocamp, 45cm high, 45cm wide

Note: The present lot is conceived in the manner of the leading Baroque sculptor Alessandro Algardi.  The putto bears close comparisons to a bronze by Algardi where a putto blows two conch shells which itself derives from an early 16th century bronze in The Walter Art Gallery in Baltimore of a putto on a hippocamp by Bartolommeo Ammananti (54.465B).  Another version of the bronze exists as part of a set of four putti playing musical instruments at the Wallace Collection in London (S204).
