Notes

Provenance
Ancienne collection Annenberg

Ces porte-torchères en bois doré prennent la forme d'une sirène
dénudée à longue queue bifide qui s'enlace et repose sur des rochers. D'un bras, elles soutiennent un réceptacle en forme de coquille.
L'extrême finesse de la sculpture, l'expressivité des visages ainsi que
le sujet traité permettent de rapprocher nos aeuvres des réalisations
de Filippo Parodi (1630-1702), le plus important sculpteur génois du
style baroque à la fin du XVIIe siècle.
Parodi réalisa des aeuvres en bois présentant de fortes similitudes avec
notre paire de torchères et notamment au niveau du socle. Ainsi, le
Palazzo del Principe de Gênes conserve une très belle suite de quatre
torchères posées sur un tertre rocheux comparable à ceux figurant
sous nos sirènes . La Villa Durazzo possède une torchère figurant
l'Eté avec ce même socle rocailleux , tout comme le Palais Doria Pamphile à Rome avec deux sculptures illustrant des tritons et des aigles . A noter qu'il reprit cette structure rocailleuse pour d'autres réalisations comme pour une console et son miroir conservés à la Villa Durazzo .
Ce type de socle, toujours surmonté de figures sculptées dans le
plus pur style baroque, fut récurrent dans l'Œuvre de Parodi, au point
même que son fils, Domenico, ne put s'empêcher de reprendre à son
compte cette iconographie, considérée comme un véritable héritage
esthétique
Ses aeuvres, souvent traitées dans l'esprit du Bernin auprès duquel
il fit son apprentissage à Rome entre 1655 et 1661, ont su ainsi
conquérir une riche clientèle, amatrice de la grande beauté et de
l'exubérance du baroque. Son talent, reconnu dans toute l'Italie le fit
travailler également à Padoue à la Basilique Saint-Antoine ou encore
à Venise pour le monument funéraire de l'évêque Morosini. Son art
fut également apprécié par les Princes de Liechtenstein pour lesquels
il réalisa deux bustes figurant les Vices et les Vertus.
