Italian models

With adjective Italian I enclose this concept with sculpture that nothing have around Italian, but I refer to sculpture of Pierre Puget(1620-1694), French sculpture, who come Italy studied Michael Angel and other sculptors, and he took much from abovementioned for his works and, naturally, he not lost to see famous Laocoӧn in Vatican and ready there from first years from XVI century, therefore Pierre could seen it and he could seen Slaves of Michael Angel, which still in Italy and in Rome. Pierre come to Genoa and there he sculptured his Mirone(Fig.1) whose torsion is very close to that one Slave(Figg.2-3) of Michael Angel and expression is very close that of Laocoӧn, the physical tension of body is took from Slave, that had suggested the posture and expression that, but, is directly took from Laocoӧn, for same expression of pain, therefore Pierre had took from Italian and Roman sculptures much reference necessaries for his work.

Modelli italiani

Con l’aggettivo italiano intendo includere anche sculture che nulla hanno di italiano, poiché io mi riferisco allo scultore Pierre Puget(1620-1694), che venne in Italia e studiò Michelangelo ed altri scultori nostrani, e prese dai suddetti per le sue opere e, naturalmente, non perse occasione per documentarsi sul Laooconte, in Vatican, già lì dai primi anni del XVI secolo, e vedere gli Schivi di Michelangelo, ancora in Roma. Quando Pierre andò a Genova e lì scolpì il suo Mirone(Fig.1), si ricordò della torsione che resta davvero prossima agli Schiavi di Michelangelo(Figg.2-3), mentre l’espressione resta davvero vicina a quella del Laooconte, la torsione fisica  dagli Schiavi, quindi a rimarcare la tensione emotiva; quindi Pierre vede sia alla scultura italiana che a quella romana, assumendo referenti importanti per il suo lavoro.
