Episode 96 - Vincenzo Gemito

from The Sculptor's Funeral

Vincenzo Gemito's charming sculpture of a Neapolitan Fisherboy is one of the highlights of the Bargello National Sculpture Museum here in Florence - but who was Gemito? Another 19th century French-trained Romantic sculptor cashing in on the popular fisherboy genre? Far from it: the Fisherboy in the Bargello isn't merely depicting a Neapolitan, the sculpture was made by one. And it isn't Romantic, it's Veristic. Learn all about that, and it, and him, by listening to this.
