After Desiderio da Settignano
(Italian, 1428-1464)
The Laughing Boy
marble
20th Century
Height 13 x width 12 x depth 7 inches.
Desiderio de Bartolomeo di Francesco detto Ferro (c. 1428 or 1430 €“ 1464) likely received his training in the Florentine workshop of Bernardo and Antonio Rossellino. He joined the guild of Stone and Woodworkers in 1453 and shortly thereafter received sculptural commissions for the Basilica of Santa Croce.
Aside from the Marsuppini tomb and the San Lorenzo tabernacle, little of Desiderio's work is documented or dated. Desiderio made significant contributions to the field of portraiture especially as it came to the depiction of children.
The original sculpture, created circa 1460, is in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
Note:
By all accounts, Michael Hall, actor, collector and art dealer, was a memorable character who led a truly remarkable life. Michael delighted in being outrageous - frequently the life of the party, always with an entertaining repertory of anecdotes and jokes. Michael was also a very serious collector with an inquisitive nature, extremely passionate and opinionated concerning his chosen field of Renaissance and Baroque Works of Art, and was always willing to share his vast knowledge.Michael was mentored by Wilhelm Valentiner, a specialist in Italian Renaissance Art and then a consultant to what would become the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Through Valentiner, Hall was introduced to Sir John Pope-Hennessy and Sir Kenneth Clark, and formed friendships with a number of authorities including Rudolf Wittkower, H.W. Janson and Francis Watson. In 1963, Hall moved to New York, and with William Mills, opened a gallery at 6 East 79th Street. His clients grew to include among others, Charles and Jayne Wrightsman, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Art, Boston, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Detroit Institute of Art.In later years, Michael and his husband, Thomas divided time between their Florida, New York and Connecticut residences, but never stopped enjoying and collecting decorative arts. Those who knew Michael would agree his passion for collecting knew no bounds.
