Description:
Fortunato Galli (Italian, 1850-1918), Masquerade, Marble, signed on the base F. Galli, the masked figure with feathered hat holding a cape and wearing a dress with stockings and boots.Born in Livorno on the west coast of Tuscany, Fortunato Galli spent most of his life in Florence, where he enjoyed a faithful following. The majority of his sculptures were religious subjects, which he crafted for the major Tuscan churches, including his principal work, his famed statue of Pope Gregory VII that resides in the Duomo in Florence. His decorative sculptures were far more playful in style, capturing gypsies and beautiful women in charming narratives. (Sothebys.com)
