Biography: Emilio P. Fiaschi was a native of the Tuscan town of Volterra, and attended the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence from 1883-1885. An accomplished sculptor of marble and alabaster, he gained a reputation in the competitive Florentine art community for his technical skill and mastery of sculptural composition, following in the grand tradition of such masters as Donatello (1386-1466), Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571), and Giambologna (1529-1608). Fiaschi was adept at depicting a range of textures, not an easy task in the unforgiving and rigid medium of marble; this is evident in the example presented here with the juxtaposition of the smoothness of the figure's flesh with the roughness of the steps. Specializing in classical and genre scenes and portraits of women, Fiaschi completed numerous private and public commissions, and was awarded the medal at the annual art competition of his hometown in 1890.
