Michelangelo, italian’s symbol in the world<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
September 28th 2017<\/p>\n
In the marble quarries of the Apuane, in the same places where Michelangelo lived for eight months to choose marbles for the Giulio II monument for the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, the contract has been signed between the Bazzanti Sculpture Studio of Ferdinando Marinelli Jr. and Dr. Wei He, president of the He University of Shenyang.
\nThe agreement is for the realization of a monumental work in marble: the original replica of Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the David of Florence.
\nThe first step will be to find the giant Carrara marble block; sculptors of the Bazzanti Sculpture Studio will have to examine many extracted blocks of the right size: they will have to understand by looking at the stains on the surfaces if there are internal streaks and if they continue inside the block, and if they have internal cracks that could compromise the work.
\nThe choice will not be easy because only a perfect block will be the one from which the masterpiece will be created.
\nAmong the many castings made on the original masterpieces in the Gipsoteca of Fonderia Artistica Ferdinando Marinelli of Barberino val d ‘Elsa in Tuscany, the David has a special place.
\nThis mold was executed by Ferdinando Marinelli Sr., grandfather of the current owner, in 1930 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, with the permission of the Italian Government. And it has been studied and praised by Dr. Pina Ragionieri President of Casa Buonarroti of Florence.
\nDr. Wei knows that when is used as a model for the marble sculpture a mold made from another mold, the sculpture loses the freshness of detail and anatomy.
\nWei He University has the main purpose to make replicas in the ways and with the techniques with which Michelangelo executed them, and for this reason he chose the Bazzanti studio founded in 1822, and the plaster original mold of Fonderia Marinelli.
\nThe positive plaster model will be brought from the Marinelli\u2019s Foundry to the Studio and from this will be sculpted the replica with the classic technique “of points”.
\nDr. Wei He wants to make sure that the work will be performed by artists who will completely sculpt it without the use of any modern technology or robot, as Michelangelo did in the XVI century. And he requires that even the \u201cSbozzo\u201d of the big block will be executed completely by hand. Only in this way it will be possible to repeat the artistic miracle that Michelangelo has succeeded in doing.<\/p>\n
