olio su tela

The work, dominated by green tones in the foreground and background, depicts an open space with a vaguely metaphysical atmosphere: on the right and left, the landscape opens up towards the distant sea, while in the centre, part of a large sculpture dominates the scene. The small human figures receding into the background allow the viewer to better perceive the distance from the foreground. In the centre of the landscape is painted a fragment of a statue depicting two legs seen from behind, while on the right, the stone block depicts a head. The human figure barely visible to the right of the statue is probably an archaeologist.

fusione in bronzo

During the 1930s, Francesca Messina adhered to the return to order in Italian art: the work celebrates the physical prowess of Italian athletes and references the forms of classical Greek and Roman sculpture, which were very popular in Italy during the Fascist era. The statuette depicts a boxer standing with his hands forward as if resting on the ropes of a ring. The athlete is naked with his head slightly turned to his left. His stern face is that of a young, determined man. His hair is short but gathered in strands on top of his head.
