    Enrico Pazzi (Italian, 1819-1899), a marble sculpture of a boy and his dog,

    Est: £8,000 - £12,000

    Enrico Pazzi (Italian, 1819-1899), a marble sculpture of a boy and his dog, modelled standing upon his straw boater whilst holding his dog's paw aloft, inscribed "E Pazzi fece ['made'] 1881" to base, upon a fluted marble pedestal base, the statue 120cm (47in) high, 218cm (86in) high overall Provenance: Bought by the vendor's family from a sale at Dunalastair House, Pitlochry, Perthshire, in May 1954. The contents were sold by Thomas Love & Sons of Perth, under the instruction of the then owner Major James Sales de la Terriere Enrico Pazzi studied at the Ravenna Academy of Fine Arts, and under Bolognese professor Ignazio Sarti. Pazzi had his first solo show in 1850, whilst also showing in Salon exhibitions in Rome, Florence and Bologna. His was a classical education, and Pazzi remained faithful to this model throughout his career. In 1845 he moved to Florence on a scholarship from the Academy and studied under sculptor Giovanni Dupré. He completed a bust of Marquis Guiccoli and decorated the Cathedral of Massa-Lambarda. He settled in Florence in 1853, and in 1865 completed a white Carrara marble statue of the writer and poet Dante Alighiere (1265-1321), which was to commemorate the sixth century of Dante's birth. This statue sits in the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence, and is Pazzi's most celebrated work; Dante has an eagle at his feet, and wears a laurel wreath, the symbol of the poet laureate. Four heraldic lions sit on each corner of the plinth, symbolising the power of the people during the Republic of Florence. A statue by Pazzi also stands in the Piazza Savonarola in Florence; made in 1872, it depicts Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican friar from Ravenna, whose ministry was established in San Marco, Florence. Another work of Pazzi's is a statue of Luigi Carlo Farini, the Italian statesman and historian, originally erected in Ravenna in 1878, and donated by the artist to the province of Russi. The original was destroyed in bombings in 1944, and a plaster model now stands in the 'Famedio' (Hall of Fame) of the Russi cemetery, near Farini's tomb. The monument of Mihailo Obrenovic in Belgrade's Republic Square is the work of Pazzi, erected in 1882. It represents the Prince riding a horse and pointing south. Cities that were given away by Turks and scenes from Serbian history are represented on the pedestal of the monument. Pazzi played an important role in enhancing the collection of the Art Gallery of Ravenna, formerly the Academy of Fine Arts Gallery, in leaving his life's work after his death in 1899, and also leaving instruction for a Pazzi scholarship to be set up for Ravenna and Florence students. Dunalastair estate lies a few miles from Pitlochry, along the River Tummel between Tummel Bridge to the east and Kinloch Rannoch to the west. The Estate was at one time the principal residence of the Chiefs of Clan Donnachaidh (the Robertsons of Struan), before later being purchased by General MacDonald of Kinloch Rannoch, who built a larger house in front of the original. The estate is now the base for a group of holiday homes, and the house from which the original sale took place stands on site in ruin.
