This model is more usually cast with a bunch of grapes in the raised left hand and a cup in the lowered right, after Clodion’s original conception, also being one part of an opposing pair.

‡ After Donatello: A bronze figure of David probably Chiurazzi Foundry late19th/early 20th century weathered green brown patination, on marble pedestal figure 157cm.; 62ins high Donatello`s bronze statue of David (circa 1440s) is notable as the first unsupported standing work in bronze cast during the Renaissance period, and the first freestanding nude male sculpture made since antiquity. It created a sensation when it was first shown, due to its portrayal of the nude young male. It depicts the young David with an enigmatic smile, posed with his foot on Goliath`s severed head just after killing the giant. The youth is standing naked, apart from a laurel-topped hat and boots, bearing the sword of Goliath The exact date of creation is unknown, but widely disputed, and dates vary between 1430 and the more accepted 1440s. Donatello had made a marble statue of David in 1408/1409, though this figure was a well-dressed and victorious king holding his sling, having slain the giant, Goliath`s head resting between his feet. The statue originally belonged to Cosimo de` Medici, and was placed in the courtyard of the Palazzo Medici in Florence. After the expulsion of Piero de` Medici, it was confiscated, and ordered placed in the courtyard of the Palazzo della Signoria. It is now in the Bargello. There is a full-size plaster cast (with a broken sword) in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London The Chiurazzi foundry was established in Naples and were at their most active around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. They produced a range of over 1300 different models, mainly in bronze of after the Antique and Renaissance models, largely catering for clients engaged on the Grand Tour. In their larger pieces such as this David and Attis, the quality of casting and chiseling was amongst the highest of any of the European foundries

Linda Brunker, Irish b. 1966, `Homeward`, signed with initials and numbered 4/9, bronze, 12" high, not including square marble base, PROVENANCE: Bought directly from the artist. Linda Brunker was born in Dublin in 1966. She studied at the National College of Art & Design between 1983-1988. She has done several large commissions including `The People`s Counsil`, City Hall, Laguna Beach 2006, `Signal`, commissioned by RTE in Dublin 1996 and many others. Her works are in various collections worldwide and she has had many solo and group exhibitions. She emigrated to the USA in 2005. At an early point in her career she began to develop what she terms an `open filigree` technique of casting in bronze, a practice which has set apart her style and which challenges the traditional concept of bronze figurative sculpture. Her sculptures are typically based on the human form and have a strong spiritual and ecological quality. Natural elements such as leaves, feathers or starfish feature in abundance in her work and are intricately woven together to give shape to elegant figures which are later cast in bronze. The first version of foliose is in the Allied Irish Bank collection. Her work has been in such demand in North America, that in 2007 she opened her own gallery in Los Angeles where her sculpture and drawings form part of an ongoing exhibition.
