The fisher boy

20120406-110140.jpg

My favourite piece in the Bargello Museum in Florence was Il Pescatore….The Fisher Boy, by Vincenzo Gemito. When it was exhibited in Paris in 1877 it made the sculptor famous all over the world.

I love the look of concentration on the boy with his fish….and the eyelashes.

Isn’t he lovely?
