Description: Capodimonte Porcelain Statue This is a fun statue depicting a little old man with his jug of wine and best friend by his side. It belonged to my family and was most likely purchased on a trip to Italy in the 70's. This porcelain statue was designed by Giuseppe Armani who died in 2006 after a long career at Florence Sculpture d'Arte.The condition is very good with just a little normal wear on the base. There are no cracks or chips in the porcelain as best I can tell, and it maintains the original stamp on the base as it should. Artist HistoryGiuseppe Armani (1935-2006) was a renowned Italian sculptor known for his detailed and elegant works in porcelain. Beginning his career in Pisa, his exceptional skill in sculpture earned him a position at Florence Sculpture d'Arte in 1975. Over the next 31 years, Armani created a wide range of pieces, from traditional Capodimonte styles to modern interpretations, including popular Disney figurines. Though his studio closed with his passing in 2006, his artistic legacy continues to be celebrated through his beautiful and intricate creations.Art StyleCapo di Monte art refers to a style of porcelain originating from Naples, Italy, known for its intricate and elegant designs. The Capodimonte Royal Factory was established in 1743 by Charles VII of Naples, marking the beginning of Capodimonte porcelain. The factory became renowned for its high-quality porcelain, featuring elaborate floral and figurative motifs. Over time, Capodimonte pieces became highly collectible due to their craftsmanship and beauty. FulfillmentThank you for viewing and please let me know if you have any questions!
