Charging Bull, patinated bronze on a green marble base, stamped 'CALABRONE' to front right hoof 60cm wide

Footnote: Italian-Brazilian artist Doménico Calabrone was a painter, writer, and set-designer, but is principally remembered as one of Brazil’s foremost sculptors of bronze in the 20th century. After training in Rome at the Lyceum Classico between 1948 and 1951, Calabrone moved to São Paulo where he held several solo exhibitions and, in 1963, participated in the São Paulo International Biennial and the I Young International Design Exhibition. Calabrone’s work is today held in several important collections across Europe, and North and South America.
