Germano Cortese designed "Michelangelo Sculpts David", 20th century, Early Limited Edition.
Capodimonte porcelain on wood base.
Incised with manufacturer's hallmark, and signed by artist "Cortese" and "Modello Depositato" to the lower left side
Numbered 62 of 1500
Capodimonte sculpture originated in 1743 in Naples, Italy, when King Charles VII of Bourbon and Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony established a royal factory to rival Meissen porcelain, creating unique, creamy soft-paste works often marked with a crowned "N", for Naples, as is this example. Famed for intricate detailing, vibrant colors, and realistic figures created by skilled artisans.
This impressive work depicts Michelangelo creating the world famous Renaissance marble sculpture of the biblical figure David, "Il David di Michelangelo". Finished in 1504, the original David currently resides in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, Italy.
