Seeing recently the angels from the Vatican Museum, I recalled another angel, sculpted by Francesco Jerace, famous Italian sculptor (1853-1937), educated in Naples. He traveled to Holland, where he did some busts. In Italy, among his master pieces, several sculptures can be seen such as the statue of Vittorio Emmanuele II, Donizetti, Beethoven. He exhibited in Paris, Vienna, Munich, Antwerp, St Petersburg, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, Melbourne, London, Barcelona, Venice and even St Louis and got numerous awards.
Below is a subjective selection of some of his sculptures.
