Male Bust in an Urn

Ca. 1750. Wax, Pelo, Glass, Bone, Fabric. Room 023

Wax sculpture allowed for the creation of extremely precise technical details that produced an intense sensation of reality. Scandellari was one of the most important practitioners of this technique in Bologna. This pair might be the two wax portraits recorded as made for a Spanish aristocrat in Madrid.
