Dei Bardi Art, special focus on Burgundian sculpture

This intricately carved stone corbel from the 15th century exemplifies the refined naturalism and detail characteristic of the Burgundian Netherlands during the later Middle Ages. It portrays an angel's bust with delicately feathered wings and flowing hair, holding a triangular heater-shaped shield against his chest. The angel's hair and wings, rendered with skillful precision, showcase the talent of the anonymous sculptor. The angel's face, featuring almond-shaped eyes, full cheeks, a serene small mouth, and framed by a crown of tightly coiled locks that fall gracefully to the neck, reflects Northern European artistic style, softened by a Southern influence. The figure's square jaw, rounded chin, dense curling hair, and circumflex-accent-shaped eyes, with slightly swollen lower eyelids, strongly resemble Burgundian sculpture from the 15th century. 

Corbel with an Angel Holding a Shield, Burgundian Netherlands, 15th century, Limestone, On a modern metal stand
H 21 x W 16.5 x D 18.5 cm
The angel's calm demeanor and the finely detailed curls and feathered wings indicate it was created in the Burgundian Netherlands - a region that included present-day Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and northern France, governed by the dukes of Burgundy from the late 14th to the late 15th century. During the reigns of Philip the Bold, Philip the Good, and Charles the Bold, the area became a center of artistic innovation and elite support, with sculpture serving as a primary means to convey dynastic pride and religious devotion. Similar sculpted corbels and keystones are present in major institutional collections. Noteworthy examples include the keystone with an angel from the Zelem Charterhouse near Diest now showcased at the V&A and the Angel corbel with the Coat of Arms of Breda displayed at the Rijksmuseum.

A propos

Fondée en 1976, Dei Bardi Art est une galerie de forte tradition familiale, dirigée par la troisième génération de marchands, Alessandra Dei Bardi et sa fille Giulia. Munie de plus de trente ans d'expérience sur le marché de l'art italien et de dix ans sur la scène parisienne et internationale, la galerie a ouvert ses portes dans le célèbre quartier du Sablon à Bruxelles en 2019. Dei Bardi Art propose un éventail d’œuvres allant des sculptures du Moyen Âge et des objets Wunderkammer aux sculptures de la Renaissance, avec une prédilection pour celles en marbre et en pierre. La recherche et la sélection minutieuse d'œuvres d'art centrées sur la qualité, la rareté et la curiosité sont au cœur de sa démarche. La galerie a participé à de prestigieuses foires d'art italiennes telles que la Biennale Internazionale dell'Antiquariato de Florence et l'Internazionale di Milano. De Florence à Bruxelles, Dei Bardi Art souhaite apporter un regard neuf sur les sculptures et les œuvres d'art européennes du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance.
