Spanish Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture By Francisco Flora
Spanish artist Francisco Flora captures wonderful movement and detail in this beautiful late 19th-century bronze sculpture. Gracefully, a young woman looks over her shoulder, superbly capturing a gentle S curve that often defines Art Nouveau period works. Draped in a sinuous gown with dramatic flounced sleeves and a floral corsage on her shoulder, her form exquisitely achieves the natural forms and organic lines that further make the Art Nouveau movement distinctive. Finally, this marvelous sculpture rests atop a green Italian marble base presenting lovely contrast against the bronze.
