“Ye were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.”<\/em><\/h4>\n

Dante Alighieri, Inferno<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hercules and Diomedes is a sculpture of unimpeachable beauty. In this work, the mastery of shaping marble incredibly expresses poetry, energy and value.<\/div>\n
The two figures have so much strength and power that just looking at them makes one emotional. Their smooth surface faithfully recreates muscles, facial expressions, the fatigue of movements, the tense or contracted joints, and the abandonment of flesh.There is no sense of stillness in this sculpture, but energy and movement, only as few works can do.<\/div>\n

The timeless aesthetic perfection of Sculpture , has accompanied us since Antiquity. If the marble flesh is shaped following a precise study of forms and features, the spirits contained within them struggle to emerge from these extraordinary containers, which are too good to be true. <\/span>Perfect anatomies, mysterious souls surpassing reality, always turning to ideal beauty. Whether they are mythological figures, literary or religious characters, allegorical representations, women of unparalleled beauty, they are always works that are inspired by the past while turning to the future.<\/p>\n

A timeless sculpture, it combines elegance and modernity and is easily paired with antique furniture, dark and fine woods, as well as innovative materials, such as glass and concrete, favored by modern interior design concepts.<\/p>\n

This Work expresses at its best the immense creative and structural possibilities of natural stone, especially when the skilled hand of true craftsmanship, a symbol of the excellence of our entire Made in Italy tradition, is behind it.<\/p>\n

Marble<\/a><\/strong> has always held a place of honor in interior and exterior architecture and decoration. A material that has always been used in a wide variety of fields, from large-scale construction and sculpture to everyday and domestic use. Thanks to its durability and versatility, complements, decorative objects and even utensils made of marble become immortal and lend an undisputed touch of elegance to any room and decor, from classic to modern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
