ABOUT PRODUCTID 16322
The 'Charging Bull' figurine, designed by Arturo Di Modica, is crafted from bronze and plated with silver, featuring a compact, dynamic form poised just before the charge. The surface presents a warm, aged silver tone interspersed with patinated shadows—particularly in recesses and along muscular contours—offset by scattered highlights on more prominent edges and subtle traces of hand-finishing. Every detail, from pronounced horns to anatomically rendered legs and head, reveals the precision of the casting, most likely achieved using the lost-wax technique. The matte finish with localized wear and color variation accentuates the object's vintage identity.The figure's posture conveys tension and energy captured in metal: a massive build with dipped head, bent foreleg, and tightly drawn muscles creates the impression of motion held at its peak, moments before a burst of force. Areas of thinning and discoloration in the silver coating evoke the passage of decades, imparting a sense of timelessness. The combination of anatomical modeling with decorative silver plating merges naturalistic expression with the classical gravitas of bronze and noble metal.This sculpture can be displayed on a walnut console in the living room or positioned on a black contemporary shelf alongside art books or minimalist ceramics. It pairs well with black accents, deep greens, or chrome elements to enhance the metallic sheen and contrast of textures. In a modern arrangement, it also works as a standalone piece against a light background, where its dynamic stance and variegated surface remain the centerpiece.
