Attributed to Domenico Fortunato Maggesi (1801-1892), a bronze bust of a gentleman, his hair classically arranged, his shoulders squared, his chest bare, 33cm (13 in) high Other Notes: Maggesi completed his apprenticeship in Carrara, in an artistic atmosphere in which the study of the ancient and the respect for the canons of classicism began to be joined with the observation of the real and of nature in its variety and even in its imperfections. After moving to Bordeaux in 1829, he became the official sculptor of the city for major public commissions, both religious and civil, and the favourite portraitist of the rich local bourgeoisie, for which he executed busts with the precious marble of his native Carrara. In 1833, Magessi was elected a member of the Academy of Science, Literature and the Arts of Bordeaux and he notably exhibited at the Paris Salons of 1838, 1841, 1844, and 1847.
