Translation of Italian
text (first 2 paragraphs):
Acrobat Lamp 2.26.Padua, first half of 16th century. Poured bronze, lost wax technique, traces of dark green patina, 17 cm (7 inches) tall. The bronze represents a virile, bearded figure with high cheekbones and a slightly flattened nose in a crouched pose, with a circular hole on his back followed by a second holethat creates the spout of the lamp by virtue of the soles of the feet being nest to eachother. The figure is fixed to the base with a circular linchpin, with the knees on a tripod modelled into wide (acanthus) leaves terminating in 3 lion's feet...(the rest of the text refers to a related piece but not to this bronze.) |
| (Click on thumbnail to enlarge) Commissioned by Dr. Vincent P. Savaglio, Wisconsin USA White terra cotta clay with metallic glaze, sculpted entirely by hand

The figure fits onto the base as a lid would fit a pot. This lamp is fully functional, and is fueled by vegetable oil.
