Eva dopo il peccato (Eve after the Fall)
signed: L. GUGLIEMI. F. / ROMA.
white marble
81cm., 31⅞in.
This beautifully carved marble represents one of Luigi Guglielmi's most successful models. Depicting Eve kneeling on the ground with the serpent at her feet, the composition is notable for its elaborate rendering of the figure's hair, whose wavy strands she holds up with her right hand.
Guglielmi trained at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, under Filippo Gnaccarini; his works were initially neoclassical in nature until he developed a more romantic realist style as seen in the present marble. He exhibited in London, Paris and Munich. Other examples of his work are housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome.
