The Colleoni Chapel - Model in wood, paper, pastiglia and various materials, Bergamo, 1873 -1875
The subject of the work is the Colleoni chapel in Bergamo, commissioned by the leader Bartolomeo Colleoni (1392/1395-1475) for the artist Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1447-1522), and part of the church of Santa Maria Maggiore (the north door and part of the structure).
The model is made of carved and painted wood, paper, pastille, papier-mâché, glass and majolica and has a height of 106.8 cm, a width of 74 cm and a depth of 15 cm.
Although obviously simplified in detail, it presents a significant fidelity to the monument and its sculptural details; and it is an extremely interesting document also because it depicts the chapel in a situation that is no longer visible today.
Following the discovery of the work in an important collection, an in-depth documentary study was carried out on it, aimed at giving it a more precise historical and temporal location.
(the study is naturally available to anyone who wants to learn more about the subject)
The work, like all our other objects, is sold accompanied by certificates of authenticity and lawful origin.
We personally take care of and organize the packing and shipping of the works of art with insurance all over the world
If the work is purchased by non-Italian customers, it will require the certificate of free circulation.
The same can be obtained in 10/20 working days.
The gallery will take care of the bureaucratic and economic aspects of the matter.
All costs of the operation are therefore included in the price.
