Splendid Bronze Sculpture: “The Child Bitten by the Crab” '90

Magnificent work in bronze with a dark patina, inspired by the famous Neapolitan sculptural tradition of the late nineteenth century.

The sculpture captures with extraordinary realism and dynamism a moment of everyday life: the astonishment and sudden pain of a young fisherman (a “scugnizzo”) surprised by the bite of a crab.

Characteristics of the WorkThe piece stands out for its incredible anatomical rendering and the expressiveness of the face.

The twisting of the body and the balance on the right leg make the figure extremely vital, almost ready to move.

The rocky base includes the detail of the crab, the narrative fulcrum of the scene.
