EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century terracotta statue on a marble base, depicts Blessed Niccolò Albergati (circa 1375-1443), an Italian prelate and cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. The sculpture was created between approximately 1740 and 1743 by the renowned Italian artist Filippo della Valle. Blessed Niccolò Albergati was born in Italy and served as a diplomat, commissary, and papal legate for the Roman Curia. He was known for his piety and dedication to the Church, and was later beatified by the Catholic Church. The statue captures the essence of Blessed Niccolò's dignified and contemplative demeanor. He is depicted wearing the robes and hat of a cardinal, signifying his high rank within the Church. The intricate details of the statue, from the folds of his robes to the texture of his hair, are a testament to Filippo della Valle's mastery of the art of sculpture. The statue was likely commissioned by a wealthy patron or institution to honor the memory and legacy of Blessed Niccolò Albergati. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is admired by visitors from around the world for its artistic beauty and historical significance. This statue is a valuable addition to the European art collection at LACMA, showcasing the rich heritage of Italian art and the enduring influence of the Roman Catholic Church on European culture. It serves as a reminder of the important role that religious figures played in shaping the history of Europe and the world.
