Brun Fine Art is proud to present A Taste for Sculpture V, an exhibition of important sculptures dating
from the 15th to the 20th century, running from 29th June to 27th July 2018. Presented on the occasion of the
summer edition of London Art Week, A Taste for Sculpture V features a fine selection of Carrara marbles,
rare terracottas and bronzes, an outstanding Baroque wooden figure of Jupiter, an exceptional 19th-century
Belgian ivory, and a monumental 20th-century Italian ceramic panel. The exhibition marks the fifth
edition of the annual series A Taste for Sculpture, and the works are on view simultaneously at the gallery in
38 Old Bond Street and at Brun Fine Art’s stand A40 at Masterpiece London. As usual, the exhibition is
accompanied by a scholarly catalogue edited by Andrea Bacchi with entries by leading art historians.

(1720-1793), author of the extraordinary Veiled Christ in
the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, is an exceptional
masterpiece. An exquisite example of Neoclassical carving
is the Vestal Virgin signed by Gaetano Monti of Ravenna
(1776-1847), one of the most talented Italian followers of
Canova. Other marble works include the allegory of
Winter, depicted as a solemn bearded man signed by
Giovanni Maria Benzoni (1809-1873), and a winged Cupid
caught in a finely carved net by Ercole Rosa (1846-1893),
described as the “most powerful Italian sculptor of the
19th century”.

To mark the fifth anniversary of the A Taste for Sculpture series, the
gallery is delighted to present a fully illustrated and researched catalogue
with a celebratory golden cover. Edited by Andrea Bacchi, professor of
art history at the University of Bologna, the publication includes
contributions by other prominent Italian scholars including Laura
Cavazzini, Maichol Clemente, Roberto Cobianchi, Simone Guerriero
and Michela Zurla. Officially presented at the opening event at the
gallery on 28th June 2018, the catalogue will also be available to read
online and download. For enquiries or to request a hard copy or an
