Sculpture of Nilo Cesarini

Introducing the Nilo Cesarini sculpture, a stunning representation of classical artistry that captures the essence of the Nile River’s abundance and fertility. This exquisite piece showcases a bearded figure, reclining gracefully with his left arm resting on an amphora, draped elegantly in a robe that reveals his sculpted torso. The craftsmanship shines through in the intricate details, from the lifelike texture of the basanite torso to the delicate pátina that mimics the timeless beauty of marble and bronze.

In his right hand, the figure holds ears of wheat, a symbol of the bountiful harvest, while a charming putto playfully perches upon his legs, adding a whimsical touch to this monumental work. The crown of spikes encircling his head further enhances the symbolism of fertility, representing the life-giving qualities of the Nile. The oval hollows on his belly hint at the presence of additional cherubs, a nod to the traditional iconography that often portrays the river deity surrounded by sixteen putti, each representing the crucial sixteen cubits of water rise during the flood season.

Inspired by the ancient prototype from Alexandria dating back to the second century BC, this replica not only pays homage to its rich heritage but also brings a piece of history into your home. The Nilo Cesarini sculpture is more than just a decorative item; it is a conversation starter, a reminder of the classical world, and a celebration of nature’s generosity.
