Collection: Style of Agostino di Duccio

The fluid elegance of low-relief sculpture inspired by classical antiquity

Works executed in the style of Agostino di Duccio capture the refined aesthetic of the early Italian Renaissance and its profound dialogue with classical antiquity. Characterized by an exquisite translation of three-dimensional form into delicate, shallow surfaces, this stylistic manner evokes the grace of ancient Roman bas-reliefs and Greek drapery.

The defining signature of this style lies in its linear fluidity and the mastery of stiacciato—an ultra-low relief technique where extremely subtle depth variations create an illusion of profound space. Figures appear to emerge from the stone with a weightless, calligraphic elegance, their garments swirling in rhythmic, wind-swept patterns that prioritize poetic movement over rigid anatomical realism.

This collection reflects a harmonious synthesis of classical idealism and decorative lyricism. The resulting compositions possess a serene, ethereal quality, offering a timeless meditation on form, light, and the expressive power of the sculpted line.
