Lampe à huile

Andrea Briosco, called Riccio Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 536

Originaire de Padoue, le Riccio fut à la fois pionnier et pilier de la sculpture en bronze à la Renaissance italienne. Cette lampe est l’objet décoratif le plus exquis de cette période héroïque qui soit conservé au Musée. Le couvercle et les pattes sont d’origine, ce qui en fait la seule lampe à huile complète des trois exemplaires connus du Riccio. La lampe a la forme d’un galion et se termine par des fioritures étonnantes. L’une d’elles représente un monstre barbu qui semble prêt à souffler sur la mèche. Les flancs sont ornés de frises où jouent putti et béliers.
