Impressive Fine Italian Marble Sculpture by Fausto Biggi ( Romeo and Juliet )

Capturing a climactic moment from Shakespeare’s famed tragedy, this exquisite marble sculpture was created by acclaimed Italian sculptor Fausto Biggi in the 19th century. The work depicts young lovers Romeo and Juliet in an emotional final embrace.

With exceptional mastery of his medium, Biggi sculpts Romeo tenderly supporting her graceful form as Juliet leans in for a parting kiss. Details like the intricate pleats of Juliet’s gown and tumbling locks of her hair showcase Biggi's technical virtuosity.

Signed by the artist along the base, the poignancy and passion of this classical scene displaying immense technical skill and heartrending emotion, this Belle Époque marble exemplifies Italian sculptural excellence at the turn of the century.
