A short life that of the sculptor Pietro Freccia (1814-1856), a life dedicated to marble from the early years, a life that was opening to fame and success, but which was tragically interrupted at the age of thirty-two, later an accidental fall from a scaffolding on which he was working to complete the well-known Monument to Christopher Columbus, place in Piazza Acquaverde in Genoa. We were in 1854, after two years, due to the serious injuries suffered, he died. The cruelty of destiny did not allow him to continue on a promising path, with his marvelous works, born in the wake of Lorenzo Bartolini's masterly vocabulary, in which, however, the careful and meticulous analysis of the truth, even with a matrix implantation classic, it would have led to different stylistic outcomes. And it is precisely in the presence of one of his works, Love and Fidelity , of 1840, currently preserved in the Modern Art Gallery of Palazzo Pitti in Florence that the artist's language can be comprehensively understood. A child, personification of Love, appears seated on an ideal trunk while looking back, veiled with tears restrained, towards the loyalty, represented by a lifeless dog at his feet. The quiver with all the arrows is abandoned. Love can no longer hit with its unpredictable arrows

Sculpture reproductions are a popular way of making art more accessible. We use several methods to create reproduction sculptures, each with its unique process.

  • Creation of plastic sculptures:

To create a plastic sculpture reproduction, we use 3D printing technology. The first step is to print a plastic version of the original sculpture using a 3D printer. After 3D printing, we process the plastic sculpture by hand, which includes sanding, smoothing, filling any gaps or imperfections, and covering the sculptures with a special material to ensure durability for outdoor use. Our goal is to create a high-quality replica that faithfully reproduces the original sculpture. Once the plastic sculpture has been sanded and smoothed, we paint it by hand using high-quality paint in plaster, marble, bronze, and other colors to achieve a durable finish.

  • Creating impressions:

Many reproductions are created using environmentally friendly materials such as marble, plaster, and bronze. These materials are used to create high-quality replicas that look and feel like the original sculpture. The process of creating a casting involves making a mold of the original sculpture and then pouring the chosen material into the mold. This process requires a lot of manual work to keep the shape accurate and without air bubbles.

After the material has hardened, we remove the mold and clean and finish the reproduction by hand. This process ensures that each sculpture is a high-quality copy of the original sculpture.

Creating reproductions of sculptures requires great skill and attention to detail. Regardless of whether we use 3D printing technology or traditional casting methods, our goal is always the same: to create a high-quality replica of the original sculpture that accurately reflects the artist's vision. With the use of environmentally friendly materials and an emphasis on manual work, we ensure that our reproductions are of the highest quality.

  • Production and delivery time

Sculptures up to 18 inches in size take 2 to 3 weeks to produce. We do not have mass production, as each sculpture is handmade by our craftsmen, making each sculpture unique. Sculptures larger than 18 inches require different lead times, depending on the size and complexity of the sculpture and its coating. Our managers will let you know the lead time for custom orders.

Delivery takes on average 2 weeks from the time of shipment. Since we are located in Ukraine, delivery time depends on the recipient country. But usually it is not more than 3 weeks anywhere in the world.
