Saint Sebastian

Moderno

The sculpture depicts two figures: a man and a creature with a human-like upper body and snake-like lower body. The man is nude, exhibiting a strong, muscular build, and is positioned in a dynamic stance, with one arm raised and holding the creature by its hair. The creature appears to be female, with intricate details in the long, serpentine curls of her hair that end in snake heads, and her tail is coiled on the ground. Both figures are crafted within a rectangular frame. The sculpture is composed of a dark, metallic material that gives it a glossy finish. The figures emerge in relief from the flat background.

Hercules and the Lernaean Hydra

Moderno

The relief panel depicts various scenes, including a centaur in the center, surrounded by smaller panels of cherubic figures and circular scenes. The sculpture is made of a bronze-like material with detailed musculature and flowing lines, capturing a sense of movement and vitality. Craftsmanship is intricate, showcasing classical themes and storytelling elements.

Nessus and Deianira

Moderno

The sculpture depicts a scene of crucifixion, with a central figure on a cross flanked by two other figures, also crucified in varying postures. Surrounding these central figures are numerous human figures, some soldiers with spears and shields, while others appear distressed or mourning. The figures are intricately detailed, with attention given to their expressions and the texture of their garments. The sculpture is crafted from bronze, lending it a dark, metallic brown color with a natural patina that highlights the relief work. All figures are positioned in high relief against the relatively flat background.
