An Old Man with a Flagon of Wine

Signed "Prof. Frilli"

This magnificent marble statue, An Old Man with a Flagon of Wine, is a striking example of Antonio Frilli’s exceptional skill and emotional depth. The weathered features of the old man and the intricacies of his expression are rendered with remarkable precision, revealing Frilli’s unparalleled mastery in marble. The statue’s monumental scale only enhances the powerful presence of the work, standing tall upon an elegant serpentine base.

Antonio Frilli, a renowned Florentine sculptor, specialized in the popular Belle Époque subjects of his time, often creating evocative works in marble and alabaster. A professor at the Fine Arts Academy of Florence, Frilli was also a savvy businessman who founded the Frilli Gallery in 1860 in Florence. He actively participated in World Fairs, garnering international acclaim and earning numerous awards throughout his career. His work is celebrated for its emotional resonance and technical brilliance, and in 1904, he was posthumously awarded the Grand Prix at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. His contributions to the world of sculpture continue to be admired today for their enduring beauty and intricate craftsmanship.
