Description
Immortal Stone - Photo of the late borgeoise realistic style stone sculpture of the Gallino tomb sculpted by G. Moreno 1894. In the tomb, the bust that portrays the deceased Carolina receives the kiss of a child, probably the niece, supported by a young woman - the mother, or perhaps the elder sister - whose face is marked by pain; on the right an older man, presumably her husband, stands aside, almost absent, looking down at the ground. The most intimate tones and psychological introspection are grafted here in the language of bourgeois Realism: with undoubted technical virtuosity Moreno offers a rigorous "quantitative" description of reality, dwelling on every single detail of faces, clothing, accessories and hairstyles .
