Description: Giovanni Giuseppe FONTANA (Italian, 1821-1893). David with Harp. White Carrara marble sculpture (statue). This magnificent sculpture signed on the base 'G. Fontana S'. (S stands for 'sculpsit', Latin for 'he carved it'). 19th Century. Height 157cm, incl. base 7cm.
Biography: The Italian sculptor Giovanni Giuseppe Fontana was born in Carrara in 1821 and died in London in 1893. He exhibited in London from 1852 to 1886, including the Royal Academy.
Subject: David - the shepherd who became the king of Israel. Much legend surrounds the biblical account of his many-sided personality. He was a warrior and a statesman; he made Israel a united kingdom and captured Jerusalem, making it his capital; he was a musician and was traditionally believed to be the author of the Psalms.
He is important in Christian art not merely as the "type" or prefiguration of Christ; according to Matthew he was a direct ancestor.
His attributes are a stringed instrument, usually a harp, and a crown. Although medieval books of psalms show David playing  a harp or sometimes a psaltery, in Renaissance art, especially in the 16th century, he often holds some instrument of the viol family (a bowed instrument in general use between the 15th and 18th centuries, descended from the medieval fiddle and the forerunner of the modern violin family).
The harp's size and shape varied, usually of slender, elegant construction, often small enough to be easily portable. It was much esteemed in royal and aristocratic circles.
Carrara Marble: Carrara marble is the most famous of all marbles, quarried in the Carrara district of Apuania in Italy. It has a fine, compact grain and ranges in colour from snow-white to creamy white. It is saccharoidal, or sugary, and has a translucent appearance in the finest grades. Carrara marble was used in ancient times and again during the medieval and Renaissance periods. Much of Michelangelo's work was done in this marble.

Description: Meteorite Sculpture - "The Gundabalos". Iron, coarse octahedrite, Brazil. Artist: Victor M. Pracas. For thousands of years locals and explorers have reported rumours of giant ape-like creatures living in the dense forests of Brazil where supposedly no giant primates have lived for millions of years. When it was first discovered, this zoomorphic meteorite was believed  to be an actual artefact of the mythical ape-man from Brazil - Gundabalos or Mapinguary. When Australian artist Victor Pracas heard of the meteorite he purchased it from the locals and decided to add to the mythology by sculpting a discrete area of the 'face' to create a more life-like appearance. Other than the small areas of the eyes and nose, the meteorite retains its original shape and is covered with the characteristic scalloped flight marks, or regmaglypts, with a warm and natural gun-metal patina. It is mounted on a custom iron display base and accompanied by a framed collection of reports, drawings and photographs relating to the legend of the Gundabalos.

Size: 650H X 340Wmm; weight approximately 22kg.
