Enrico Pollastrini
Disegno firmato toscano raffigurante danza di putti, XIX secolo

seconda metà del XIX secolo

About the Item

Il piccolo ma squisito disegno, realizzato con una tecnica mista di matita e acquerellatura grigia, raffigura una scena mitologica in cui si nota una gruppo di putti nudi che girano danzando e dandosi la mano attorno ad una "Herma". Questa tipologia di sculture, molto comune nei giardini dal Cinquecento in poi, composte da una base e una figura a mezzo busto, deriva dall'arte greca e si trovavano di solito nei crocevia delle strade, il nome è legato al dio Ermes che era il soggetto più comunemente raffigurato. Il disegno è titolatio "Putti danzanti" e firmato "Prof. Enrico Pollastrini" in basso al centro. Enrico Pollastrini fu un artista nato a Livorno che si formò a Firenze sotto la guida di Giuseppe Bezzuoli, divenendo a sua volta professore all'Accademia. La dicitura "Prof." ci aiuta come termine post quem per la datazione, ovvero 1853, quando Pollastrini entrò effettivamente di ruolo
