Eugenio Pellini Nives Early 1900s dark patina casting signed by the author E.Pellini (1864-1934) on the left side of the rectangular base; on the edge on the front always in block letters we find the inscription Nives, name of the first-born daughter born from the 1903 marriage with Dina Magnani. In excellent condition, the sculpture dates from the early 20th century and comes from a private Milanese collection. Resting on a square base with a slight object-holder recess in the front, the child dressed in a smock and cap is portrayed intent on observing an undeciphered object she holds in her hands.
Eugenio Pellini was born Nov. 17, 1864, in Marchirolo, at that time in the province of Como (now Varese) to Andrea and Carolina Pellini. He attended elementary school up to grade IV; in 1878 he moved to Milan to his brother Oreste and began his apprenticeship in the workshop of the marble worker Biganzoli. In 1888 he began attending the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and produced his first significant works, most notably "The chimney sweep." On November 10, 1891 he won the Oggioni Triennial Prize, which included specialization at the Rome Academy. Eugenio thus began a long art journey through Italy, on a journey that took him to Florence, Rome and Sicily. Later, in Paris he encountered the sculpture of Medardo Rosso and Rodin, authors who would prove fundamental to the evolution of his style. He returned to Milan in 1893 and made some monumental sculptures such as "The Angel of Grief" for the Macario tomb and "Christ in Gethsemane" for the Lardera tomb. His artistic consecration was completed in 1897 when he won the Tantardini Prize, in which he proposed the work "Mother"; with that sculptural group he was called to represent Lombard sculpture at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, where he received other prizes. Because of the unrest affecting Milan, the sculptor took refuge in Varese. In the early 1900s he returned to Milan and obtained a teaching position at the Scuola Superiore degli Artefici at Castello Sforzesco, an activity he maintained until 1929. In 1903, the meeting with his future wife, Dina Magnani, a model at the Brera Academy, by whom he will have three children: Nives, Eros (future sculptor) and Silvana. He participated in all the Venice Biennials, starting in 1905; he was present at the Roman Secession, the Brera Triennale, and numerous exhibitions abroad. Meanwhile, the serious illness that had already struck him during the World War flared up again around 1925; despite pressing work commitments, he had to abandon his activities as an artist and teacher. On May 28, 1934, he passed away in Milan, in the house on Via Curtatone (today Via Siracusa); he is buried in the Marchirolo cemetery. This piece has an attribution mark,
