In Carrara-Marmor gearbeitete Großskulptur. Über rechteckigem Grund die nach rechts gewandte Ganzfigur einer jungen, spärlich bekleideten weiblichen Figur, die anhand ihrer Flügel als Psyche bestimmbar ist, ihr Blick nach rechts unten gerichtet. Auf sekundärem marmoriertem Sockel mit gekehlten Profilen und Spiegelmarmorierung in vertiefter Kartusche.

Tenerani lernte bei den besten Bildhauern seiner Zeit nämlich Antonio Canova (1757-1822) und Berthel Thorvaldsen (1768/70-1844), die ihm zu einer außergewöhnlich hohen Qualität seiner Arbeit verhalfen, wie sie beispielhaft mit diesem Lot angeboten wird. Die Qualität seiner Arbeiten wurde weit über die Grenzen Italiens gerühmt, sodass er unter anderem an der Erschaffung des Grabmals für Eugène de Beauharnais, Herzog von Leuchtenberg, in der Münchener Michaelskirche beteiligt war. Ein Jahr vor seinem Ableben wurde er zum Generaldirektor aller römischen Museen und Galerien ernannt. (1291603) (13)


Pietro Tenerani,
1789 Torano di Carrara – 1869 Rome
PSYCHESculpture excl. base: 112 x 110 x 67 cm.
Base: 80 x 116 x 69cm.
Signed and dated “P. Tenerani, 1861”.

Large sculpture in Carrara marble. On rectangular base, the full-length figure of a young, scantily clad female figure, who can be identified as psyche due to her wings, is facing to the right with her gaze directed downwards to the right. Mounted on a marbled base of a later date with fluted profiles and mirror marbling in a recessed cartouche.

Tenerani trained with the best sculptors of his time, namely Antonio Canova and Berthel Thorvaldsen, who helped him achieve an exceptionally high quality of work, as is exemplified by this lot. The quality of his work was praised far beyond the borders of Italy, so that, among other things, he was involved in the creation of the tomb for Eugène de Beauharnais, Duke of Leuchtenberg, in Munich’s Michaelskirche. A year before his death, he was appointed general director of all Roman museums and galleries.
