Il Flautista, bas-relief en bronze attribué à Pericle Fazzini

Un jeune homme penche la tête sur sa flûte, tenue en diagonale, les doigts posés sur l'instrument avec une délicatesse attentive. Le relief est bas, presque dessiné, et la lumière rasante suffit à faire lever l'épaule, la joue, la mèche de cheveux. Le bronze, à la patine dorée, s'assombrit par plages bleutées et garde les traces vives de l'outil. La plaque est fixée sur un panneau gainé d'un tissu noir velouté, muni d'un fil d'accrochage. En bas à gauche court une signature cursive qui semble se lire pericle fazzini.

Né à Grottammare en 1913, Pericle Fazzini apprend le travail du bois dans l'atelier de menuiserie familial avant de gagner Rome en 1930, où il meurt en 1987. Son œuvre la plus célèbre, la Résurrection, grand bronze de la salle Paul VI au Vatican, est inaugurée en 1977. Le joueur de flûte figure dans son répertoire en bas-relief, puisqu'un Flautista de bronze est conservé à la Quadreria de la CGIL à Gênes et qu'un autre, de format voisin, est passé en vente à Rome en 2025. L'attribution de cet exemplaire est celle de la galerie, et aucun lien n'est établi avec ces deux bronzes.

Read in English

A young man bends his head over his flute, held on the diagonal, his fingers resting on the instrument with attentive delicacy. The relief is low, almost drawn, and raking light is enough to lift the shoulder, the cheek, the lock of hair. The bronze, with a golden patina, darkens in bluish patches and keeps the lively marks of the tool. The plaque is fixed to a panel covered in a velvety black fabric, fitted with a hanging wire. At the lower left runs a cursive signature that seems to read pericle fazzini.

Born in Grottammare in 1913, Pericle Fazzini learned to work wood in the family carpentry workshop before moving to Rome in 1930, where he died in 1987. His best-known work, the Resurrection, a great bronze in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican, was inaugurated in 1977. The flute player belongs to his repertoire in relief, since a bronze Flautista is held in the CGIL Quadreria in Genoa and another, of similar format, came up for sale in Rome in 2025. The attribution of this example is the gallery's, and no link is established with either bronze.

  • Aucun lien établi entre cet exemplaire et ceux de la collection CGIL ou de la vente de Rome.
  • Datation : la fiche indique le XXe siècle et le style design 1950-1960, sans année.
