Title: Virgin and Child Maker: Alessandro Algardi (Italian, Bologna 1598–1654 Rome) Date: ca. 1650 Culture: Italian, Rome Medium: Bronze, silvered and gilt; black/blue marble Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 17 1/2 x 11 1/8 x 5 13/16 in. (44.5 x 28.3 x 14.8 cm); Base: 4 in. (10.2 cm) Classification: Sculpture-Bronze Credit Line: On loan in memory of Ferdinando Peretti, 2023 Accession Number: L.2012.41a, b Algardi excelled in designing small-scale sculpture to be cast in metal. The delicate features of the Virgin and the Child, the careful arrangement of the cloak and the gracefully balanced composition are hallmarks of the artist. The model is known in several bronze versions, but this is the only one to have been silvered and gilt. The Virgin's face, hands and feet, and the Christ Child have been separately cast, sivered (now tarnished) and then attached to the Virgin's body. The cloak is textured with tiny marks made by punching the surface. Algardi's model was widely successful and repeated in other media. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/238977

Title: Bust of Maria Cerri Capranica Artist/Maker: Attributed to Alessandro Algardi (Italian, 1598 - 1654) Culture: Italian Place: Italy, Europe (Place created) Date: about 1640 Medium: Marble Object Number: 2000.72 Dimensions: 90 × 61.3 × 29.2 cm, 114.76 kg (35 7/16 × 24 1/8 × 11 1/2 in., 253 lb.) Alternate Titles: Portrait of Maria Cerri Capranica (Display Title) Previous Attributions: Giuliano Finelli (Italian, 1601/1602 - 1653) Object Type: Sculpture Maria Cerri Capranica is dressed in a velvet gown with an elaborate lace collar, clothing befitting a young noblewoman. Her elegant outfit is complemented by an array of jewelry--a long strand of pearls, a necklace set with precious stones, a pendant with a small relief of the Holy Family, and pearl drop earrings. The sitter was clearly a woman of status and affluence, and the sculptor depicted her with a powerful and distinctive psychological presence. The fine details of the sitter's costume, jewelry, and hairstyle display a true mastery of marble carving. Cerri's intricate coiffure--a mass of curls ornamented with loops of satiny ribbon--falls gracefully around her face. Algardi sculpted the delicate lace mantle in low relief with subtle contours that reveal how the garment fell around the sitter's shoulders. The strand of pearls, which weaves across the sitter's chest and around her sash, is carved entirely in the round. The attention given to her lace and jewelry makes this as much a portrait of her accessories as of the subject herself. Married in 1637, Maria Cerri and Bartolomeo Capranica were from prominent Roman families. A coat of arms identifying both families appears at the base of the sculpture. Cerri died at the age of twenty-five in 1643. Text from: www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/129931/attributed-to-alessandro-algardi-bust-of-maria-cerri-capranica-italian-about-1640
