"Costantino Barbella - Dutch Costume (zealand Goes)"

painted terracotta, 33 x 26 x 18 cm

Costantino Barbella was born in Chieti on 31 January 1852 into a large, poor family of eighteen children.
The artist executed terracottas and bronzes illustrating the Abruzzi epos, with rhetorical accents anticipating Michelangelo's own research. The protagonists of his works are almost always people from Abruzzo, whom the sculptor captures with exact and careful investigation.
