Bronze has long been used by sculptors to create complex and
beautiful forms, three-dimensional realizations of the most vivid
human emotions and experiences. The outstanding collection of
European bronze sculptures formed by Peter Marino is built around
an exploration of the human form, as depicted in this lustrous and
sensuous material. With a special focus on French and Italian
bronzes of the High Baroque, the collection includes masterpieces
by some of the greatest sculptors of their age, among them
Ferdinando Tacca, Giovanni Battista Foggini, Robert Le Lorrain, and
Corneille van Cleve. The bronzes say much about the cultural
preoccupations of their age, from the eternal fascination with the
ancient world, to more modern concerns, such as contemporary
theater and the legacy of great modern sculptors. Above all, the
bronzes in the Marino collection are wonderful works of art, whose
beauty and power speak across the centuries to today's audiences.
