Michael Ventura Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) According to what I found with Google Lens, it is just representational of "Winter" by Felice Raini Not sure it is of anyone in particular. (edit) Double checking the artist name, doesn't seem to be accurate so I would not use that name. Edited September 2 by Michael Ventura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 >"Winter" by Felice Raini using same method I got to same point but AFAICT Felice Raini is 21st century photographer of image, not sculptor... note: there was no info on statue...?

Vincent Lowe Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 According to this page (scroll down to the bottom) the sculptor is Felice Raini. ... https://www.walksinrome.com/the-piazza-del-popolo.html According to the 'notes' on the Wikipedia page - "Touring Club Italiano, Roma e dintorni 1965:181, gives the names of the four sculptors responsible: Filippo Guaccarini (Spring), Francesco Massimiliano Laboureur (Summer), Achille Stocchi (Autumn), and Felice Raini (Winter).

Ed Rooney Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Winter appropriately stands at the north end of Piazza del Popolo. Felice Raini is a photog with S-stock, not a sculptor working in the 1600s. There are so many historical statues in Rome, data is bound to be wrong on some.

spacecadet Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Sculptor is Giovannni Ceccarini, 1828 according to some. Edited September 3 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
