\u201cIo vi creo Cavaliere in nome di mio fratello il Re della Gran-Brettagna\u201d. Con questa formula, preceduta da tre tocchi di spada sguainata sulla spalla sinistra, il granduca di Toscana Pietro Leopoldo I conferiva a Horace Mann il cavalierato dell\u2019Ordine del Bagno.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The ceremony took place at Palazzo Pitti on October 19, 1768, and now, more than 250 years later, in the splendid setting of Corsini in Florence, the enlightened sovereign and the English diplomat will once again be united before the visitors of the 33rd edition of BIAF in the form of two busts; the Grand Duke sculpted in marble, while Sir Horace Mann\u2019s effigy is molded in terracotta.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Il ritratto celebrativo del Granduca di Toscana Pietro Leopoldo I, datato 1777, \u00e8 una significativa aggiunta al catalogo delle opere dello scultore carrarese Domenico Andrea Pelliccia (1736 - 1821), che l\u2019anno precedente realizz\u00f2 il Monumento al Granduca al Lazzaretto di Livorno. L\u2019opera \u00e8 contraddistinta da una grande raffinatezza esecutiva, dove la cura minuziosa per la definizione dei dettagli, si traduce in una diversit\u00e0 nella lavorazione dove tutto diventa tangibile e sembra smentire la fredda natura della roccia apuana; il naturalismo della materia, tuttavia, non limita la presenza interiore del ritratto, seppur vincolata da un\u2019espressione congelata, sospesa e ineffabile.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Il ritratto di Sir Horace Mann \u00e8 dello scultore inglese Prince Hoare, che soggiorn\u00f2 a Roma e a Firenze dal 1743 al 1750. Lo sguardo del nostro diplomatico inglese, sicuro e ricolmo di determinazione, si fa materia in questo ritratto scultoreo. Il volto, orgogliosamente rivolto verso destra, sembra invitarci a scorgere insieme a lui quel promettente futuro che la sua carriera, qui solo agli inizi, gli riserver\u00e0. Incorniciato tra i boccoli della folta parrucca che ricadono sulla spalla destra, anche l\u2019abbigliamento riflette un\u2019importante levatura sociale nonch\u00e9 quel decoro \u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise, secondo il tipico abbigliamento del gentiluomo del diciottesimo secolo.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
