Pair of ceramics depicting the allegory of poetry and allegory of music, by Giuseppe CAPPÈ (1921-2008), ca. 1950s, in perfect condition. Giuseppè Cappè was born in Milan in 1921, he lived in Milan and later in Lomagna (Lecco) where in his studio, near the porcelain manufacturer, he created his works appreciated all over the world and which, especially in America, have conquered the market. Part of his works are now in many private collections and museums. Cappè was an artist who drew inspiration from the strands of the great Italian Baroque-Alexandrian folk tradition of which the stuccos of Serpotta (Palermo), the Capodimonte porcelain and the Neapolitan mangers are the most typical and well-known examples. Cappè was an artist who has been making sculptures since 1946 and his creations have been so successful that they have been imitated and plagiarized. He also worked as a chief sculptor at the IPA studio and later as a chief sculptor at King. Many of his models are still reproduced from these porcelain studies. He died in Lomagna on 7 May 2008.
