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.

A carved marble figure by Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869) Italian,
Est: £5,000 - £8,000
A carved marble figure by Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869) Italian, A carved marble figure by Pietro Tenerani (Italian, 1789-1869), 'Psyche in a Faint', 1860, carved marble, signed and dated, 110cm wide 66cm deep 114cm high, together with a stone slab, 123 x 67cm (2) Provenance: Recently recovered from the garden of a country house in East Anglia, having been in the same family ownership for fifty years. This sculpture depicts a scene from Apuleius' Metamorphoses, the moment that Psyche opens Proserpina's beauty ointment, having been sent into the underworld to collect it by the jealous Venus. In spite of being told not to, Psyche's curiosity gets the better of her and she opens the flask, instantly falling into a deep slumber or faint. The flask can be seen at the subject's feet, the cover falling from her hand. Tenerani revisited this subject on at least seven other occasions; he was fascinated with trying to capture the languid fluidity of the fainting body, setting a fleeting moment in stone. Other examples of this work can be found in prominent international collections, perhaps the most famous being the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

Pietro Tenerani
Est: £5,000 - £7,000
Pietro Tenerani Italian, 1789-1869 an amorino with a hare signed: P. TENERANI white marble, on a veined grey marble column with revolving top (wings detachable) (6) figure: 93 cm., 36 5/8 in. column:104 cm., 41 in. Tenerani, together with his close friend Lorenzo Bartolini, are considered as two of the major proponents of the Tuscan neo-classical school of sculpture. He was born in Torano, Carrara and studied there in the studio of his uncle, the sculptor Pietro Marchetti. In 1813 he won a scholarship to Rome, where he completed his studies at the Accademia di San Luca and frequented the workshop of Canova. In 1817 he entered Thorwaldsen's studio, becoming the head of the atelier in his masters absence. Thereafter his fame quickly spread as he was made a professor of the Accademia di San Luca (1825), its president in 1856 and in 1860 a general director of the Vatican Museums. His most famous works include Psyche with Pandora's box, Venus and Cupid, Psyche Abandoned and a tomb for Pius VIII in St. Peter's, Rome. Gradually his style turned away from its neo-classical roots and explored the possibilities of genre groups, as in the present work. The delicately chiselled working of the hair and face is evident, and it originally formed a pendant to another amorino in the guise of a fisherman attending his net (see lot 153, Christie's, 19 October 1991) Related literature: Panzetta, p.265
