Description: Leda and the Swan by Antonio Borsato When I first saw this porcelain, It was being introduced by Antonio Borsato in Chicago. I only know of two that were made before Borsato's death, although there could have been more. This one is numbered: Number 5. Artist do not necessarily number items consecutively so I do not know. Each Borsato porcelain was hand sculpted and no two are alike. If any one has other information, please contact me and let me know. This porcelain came out of the estate of one of my clients. This composition is porcelain It is one of the MOST RARE of the Borsato Porcelains This porcelain is in mint condition . Height 10" Width 8" Length 18" Antonio Borsato One of the world’s most gifted sculptors Milan, Italy. In his private studio the complete creative tasks were undertaken by Antonio Borsato, and a small staff of artistically devoted technicians. All stages in the development of every original work of art were attended to by Antonio Borsato himself. It is assuring to note that no Borsato was produced in mass or ever left the studio without the Borsato hallmark worked permanently into the piece. Only genuine Borsato works were so identified. This serves as a valuable asset to the Borsato owner. In the years to come the works of Borsato will become even more irreplaceable just as the works of the Old Masters. A never ending joy to behold, a treasure to cherish, Borsato’s inspired artistry and deep understanding of human nature imbues his works with joy, warmth, reverence and beauty. His impeccably faithful adherence to detail…. A wisp of hair, facial expression, gestures, whimsical humor, anatomical perfection….. combine to endow each of Borsato’s works with breathing realism. A Borsato art treasure is an exquisite masterpiece to be cherished as an heirloom for eternity. Borsato worked endlessly to make each creation a melody of color and movement, deftly positioning a figure to accomplish balance and a sense of action. Borsato turned a finger or tilted a tiny head to achieve breath-like realism and an almost inner living beauty. Borsato originals were all sculptured in the full-round with no blank surfaces with the entire piece completely hand colored with brilliant artistry. Since Borsato art treasure were all hand sculpted and hand colored, no two pieces of the same subject are identical. Thus, the collector is assured and each Borsato is different in some characteristic from any other. Before his death, the Gazebo was one of the largest Borsato accounts in America. Borsato was scheduled to come to the Gazebo for a personal appearance in 1982, but was killed in an automobile accident early in the year.
