impressive original sculpture of domenico antonio vaccaro !!!!!!!!!

This is an original sculpture of Domenico Antonio Vaccaro . The owner is THE LAST DIRECT DESCENDENT OF THE AUTHOR . His mother was the last descendent with the last name VACCARO so we required him to get a copy of his Birth Certificate with the La Haya apostille to get the international provenance . He did it so the sculpture will be attached with these documents . The sculpture is IMPRESSIVE , it is Jesus Christ , 1.30 mts high MADE OF CAST COPPER!!!! The details are absolutely amazing . The feet , hands and especially the face are incredible . The sculpture weighs 37 kg . His mother always said that it was made in 1730 when Vaccaro was 52 years old so this means that it was made in 1730 , 15 years before Vaccaro passed away. The piece has been with his family all these generations but after his mother died who was the last Vaccaro , The sculpture does not have much sentimental value for him, and his economic situation is not good.

The fact that the sculpture is of the most important character in Catholicism makes it very special.
Also, Vaccaro worked especially for requests from the Vatican and there are no works in private hands, that is why he makes it so special .

VISIT : www.us1exports.com Domenico Antonio Vaccaro (June 3, 1678 – June 13, 1745) was an Italian painter, sculptor and architect. He created many important sculptural and architectural projects in Naples. His later works are executed in an individualistic Rococo style.[1]Life
Domenico Antonio Vaccaro was born in Naples as the son of Lorenzo Vaccaro. His father Lorenzo was a pupil of Cosimo Fanzago. Domenico Antonio Vaccaro first studied under his father. He subsequently trained in the workshop of Francesco Solimena.[1]
Immacolatella
He initially dedicated himself to painting but from around 1707 he appears to have practised almost exclusively as a sculptor and architect. In the 1730s he resumed painting.[1]Works of interest include a statue of Moses in the church of San Ferdinando, interior work at the Chiesa di Santa Maria in Portico, and the statues of Penitence and Solitude on the premises of the monastery (now museum) of San Martino.He also designed the Palazzo Tarsia and Palazzo Caravita at Portici, the church of San Giovanni at Capua, and he reconstructed the Cathedral of Bari.[2] He helped reconstruct the church of Santa Maria della Pace, damaged after an earthquake. He designed the Palace of the Immacolatella at the water's edge in central Naples. He designed the small church of Santa Maria della Concezione a Montecalvario, Naples.
