« NATURE UNVEILING HERSELF BEFORE SCIENCE » - Louis-Ernest Barrias, c. 1899

Science does not create truth - it uncovers it.

This allegory by Louis-Ernest Barrias, whose monumental version has been held at the Musée d’Orsay since 1899, carries that idea with extraordinary precision.

A young woman personifying Nature slowly draws back her veil, the fabric parting around her face and cascading down her body in intricate folds - measured, deliberate, nothing revealed without intention.

What elevates this work beyond allegory is the dialogue of materials: Carrara marble for the flesh, gilded and patinated bronze for the drapery, and at the centre of the chest, a lapis-lazuli scarab that binds unveiling, knowledge and revelation into a single gesture. This 100 cm Susse Frères edition is among the largest and most refined reductions of the model.

Dimensions: 100 cm (base 36 x 23.5 cm)
Material: Carrara white marble, gilded and patinated bronze, lapis-lazuli, black marble base
Year: c. 1899

Available upon inquiry at Artimo Fine Art, Brussels. On view from September 18-20 at .

“SORPRESA” - Cesare Lapini, c. 1884

She has been caught - or has she?

A nightdress slipping from one shoulder, eyes cast downward, one hand gathering the fabric without quite concealing what it pretends to shield.

When Sorpresa was first exhibited at the Esposizione Generale Italiana in Turin in 1884, an Italian critic read the scene as Diana surprised by Actaeon. But unlike the goddess, who punishes the intruder without mercy, Lapini’s figure responds with something closer to a smile.

That ambiguity is the heart of the work. And it is held together by the full virtuosity of Florentine marble carving - polished flesh set against exquisitely rendered lace, softly falling drapery, curls carved with a delicacy that made Lapini one of the most sought-after sculptors of his generation among European aristocrats and American collectors passing through Florence on the Grand Tour.

Dimensions: 128 x 36 x 48 cm
Material: Carrara white marble
Year: c. 1884

DUC D’ORLÉANS ÉQUESTRE - Emmanuel Frémiet, 1869

The medieval revival of 19th century France ran deeper than aesthetics - it was a search for national identity, and sculptors answered with a new appetite for historical reconstruction.

No one did it with more rigour than Emmanuel Frémiet, who brought to these subjects the same anatomical precision he applied to the living animals he studied at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle and drew at the Paris Morgue.

In this bronze, that discipline shapes every detail - the armour reconstructed with archaeological exactness, harness and buckles rendered with documentary care, the horse carrying its own weight and presence rather than serving as mere support for its rider.

The monumental version, commissioned by Viollet-le-Duc himself, stands to this day in the courtyard of the Château de Pierrefonds. This reduction distils the same ambition into an intimate format, where the relationship between rider and mount is as much the subject as the figure himself.

Dimensions: 59 x 39 x 20 cm
Material: Brown patinated bronze
Year: 1869

Available upon inquiry at Artimo Fine Art, Brussels - on view at , from September 18 to 20.

“YOUNG WOMAN AND THE GREYHOUND” - Alberto Saccardi, c. 1920

The greyhound has always been a marker of status: lean, aristocratic, bred for elegance as much as speed. Placing one beside a reclining woman in alabaster and patinated bronze, Italian sculptor Alberto Saccardi captured something essential about the Art Deco ideal: refinement as a way of being, not merely a style.

The material contrast does much of the work. Alabaster for the figure - pale, translucent, softening the light - against the dark geometry of a Portor marble base. The woman reclines with the particular ease of someone entirely at home in her own grace, while the greyhound holds its poise beside her. Two bodies, two registers, one composition held in perfect balance.

Dimensions: 31.5 x 63.4 x 32.5 cm (total height 35.5 cm)
Material: Alabaster, patinated bronze, Portor black marble base
Year: c. 1920

Available upon inquiry at Artimo Fine Art, Brussels.

“CONDOR” - Antonio Amorgasti, 1937

Few sculptors have attempted a condor in white Carrara marble. The challenge is considerable - feathers that are hard, tight, and rigidly symmetrical, wings that create openings demanding structural precision from a material that does not forgive error.

What makes this work remarkable is precisely how Amorgasti turned that constraint into an asset: light passes through the spaces beneath the wings, catching the marble’s white clarity in a way no closed form could achieve.

The sculpture was executed in 1937 by Marcel Amorgasti after his father Antonio’s design - a collaboration between two generations of a family who arrived in Antwerp from Pisa for the 1930 World Fair and never left.

Antonio had spent years working alongside Josuë Dupon, one of Antwerp’s foremost animal sculptors, and the lineage shows: a larger version of this condor in bronze, bearing Dupon’s signature, stands today at the Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum.

Dimensions: 47.5 x 41 x 24.5 cm
Material: Carrara white marble
Year: 1937

Available upon inquiry at Artimo Fine Art, Brussels. On display at until from September 18 to 20, 2026.

« THE THREE GRACES » - After Antonio Canova, late 19th century

Few compositions in art have proven as enduring as Canova’s Three Graces. Since the original was completed in 1817, sculptors across the world returned to it as a meditation on what marble could do with the human form.

This late 19th century white Carrara marble version, likely French, stands among the most accomplished interpretations of the model. The hands, the drapery, the flowing hair - carved with equal care on every side. The surface carries the particular clarity and softness that only fine-grained Carrara achieves at this level of ex*****on.

Dimensions: 83 x 51 x 30 cm
Material: White Carrara marble
Year: Late 19th century

Available upon inquiry at Artimo Fine Art, Brussels.
