Imposing Terracotta Sculpture Representing Beethoven, By Alfred Pina Circa 1915

The sculpture I am pleased to present is a strikingly beautiful work, depicting the famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Made from terracotta, this piece is signed by the artist Alfredo Pina, a sculptor whose career spanned from 1887 to 1966. This particular proof is estimated to have been created around 1915, a period when the artist was at the height of his creativity and craftsmanship. The sculpture rests on a solid wooden base, adding a touch of solidity and elegance to the whole. The height of the sculpture itself is 52 cm, while the total height, including the base, reaches 70 cm. This imposing dimension gives the work a remarkable presence, captivating the attention of whoever beholds it. The artist has captured Beethoven's distinctive features with remarkable precision, immortalizing his intense and pensive expression. Every detail of the face and hair is meticulously sculpted, reflecting Alfredo Pina's technical mastery and artistic sensibility. Terracotta, a noble and warm material, offers a rich and authentic texture, accentuating the depth and realism of the sculpture. It should be noted that a slight lack of material is present at the bottom of the rear base. However, this minor imperfection in no way detracts from the beauty and value of this exceptional work. It simply testifies to the authenticity and history of the piece, perhaps even adding an extra charm to its unique character. This sculpture is much more than a simple representation of Beethoven; it is a celebration of art and music, a tribute paid by a talented artist to a musical genius. It is a centerpiece for any art collection, a treasure that transcends time and continues to inspire and move those lucky enough to admire it.
