FAS | Elvio Marchionni - Angel of God

The subject of this sculpture is inspired by the work it serves as the cover for. "The Angel of God" is the title of the most precious and comprehensive volume on angels ever produced. Printed in just 248 copies on fine handmade paper, the work is enriched with high-definition color plates with pure gold retouching and antique engravings.

In this high relief, created by Ivana Staffolani based on a design by Elvio Marchionni, we can see how the master of Spello's sources draw not only on fifteenth-century art, but also on that of the following century. The monumentality and marked plasticity, characterized by full forms, point to sixteenth-century painting as a model, and in particular, Raphael's High Renaissance. The perfect naturalistic rendering of this work should also be interpreted in this light.

Elvio Marchionni is an artist born in Spello in 1954. His entire artistic research is grounded in the recovery of memories and emotions from the past. His paintings appear like fragments of torn frescoes, references to 15th-century Umbrian painting, of which Marchionni is a great connoisseur. His sculptures presuppose a study of Renaissance harmony and proportion. However, this process of recovering memory merges, in Marchionni, with a careful exploration of artistic language in keeping with a contemporary sensibility.
