Aligi Sassu - Chiron the Centaur

Chiron, the skilled and gentle centaur, teacher of Achilles and Ulysses, an expert healer of wounds and diseases, who cedes his immortality to Prometheus, obtaining from Zeus the transformation into a constellation...

Myth is a pretext for giving concrete reality the guise of a dream. "All men do something in life," wrote Sassu, "but only the artist gives men the image of what does not yet exist..."

The bas-relief, created using the minting technique, was obtained from a model created by the artist and destroyed once the print run was completed.

Skilled master framers have chosen materials and colors for "CHIRONE the CENTAUR" with the utmost respect for the work, creating a frame with truly unique and exclusive characteristics.

Double passe-partout in a very fine midnight blue velvet to highlight the wonderful counterpoint of chiaroscuro.

Elegantly shaped double frame in fine silver-plated wood to give even more light to the evocative plasticity of the scene.
