Lámpara de aceite

Andrea Briosco, called Riccio Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 536

Pionero artífice del bronce del Renacimiento italiano, Riccio de Padua creó objetos decorativos llenos de vitalidad; uno de ellos es esta lámpara, la pieza más bella de ese periodo heroico en la colección del Museo. Existen tres lámparas de aceite atribuidas a Riccio, y esta es la única que se conserva completa, con tapa y patas. Toma la forma de un antiguo galeón: cupidos juegan con carneros en los frisos laterales y las extremidades están conformadas por llamativas florituras, una de las cuales es el cuello de un monstruo barbudo que se dispone a soplar el pabilo.
