Bust of John the Baptist

The Bust of John the Baptist, cast in bronze in 1886 from a model created in 1880 by Italian peasant Pignatelli from Abruzzi, embodies a unique blend of strength and spirituality. The artist was deeply moved by Pignatelli's rugged yet mystical appearance, seeing in him the likeness of Saint John the Baptist, a precursor, visionary, and believer. This connection adds depth to the sculpture, depicting a man deeply connected to nature and spirituality. In essence, the sculpture is a testament to art's power to capture the complexity of human character, conveying strength, mysticism, and faith.
