Renato Bertelli (1900-1974) after - Profilo Continuo del Duce

This is a very rare reproduction of the famous 1933 masterpiece entitled "Profilo Continuo del Duce," conceived by the Italian artist Renato Bertelli (1900–1974), a prominent figure of Futurism, an avant-garde movement deeply linked to the historical and cultural context of the time. At first glance it presents itself as a classic bust, but this is precisely its extraordinary uniqueness: by observing it closely, from any angle the unmistakable profile of Mussolini emerges with surprising continuity, characterized by his pronounced jawline. From here the title "Profilo continuo del Duce": a fascinating and conceptually innovative work in which the profile remains visible 360 degrees — from every side, without interruptions — making it a piece truly unique and hard to acquire. The design, still today considered extremely modern and cutting-edge, recalls the mechanical shapes typical of the industrial era, in perfect harmony with the propagandistic image of the leader as a symbol of strength and control. This very fusion of art and ideology contributes to making the work as rare as it is significant. This sculpture, unusual and sought-after, also represents the concept of the "omnipresent leader," a powerful and distinctive artistic vision. Art critic Marco Moretti described the work as: "a dynamic plasticity that, without rhetoric, expresses the metaphor of a vigilant and sleepless leader, capable of seeing and controlling everything." This precious resin reproduction, increasingly hard to find on the market, stands out for its high quality: finished with an elegant black finish and mounted on a refined base of synthetic granite. The bust measures 15 cm in height and the base 3 cm. The total height is 18 cm, with width and depth of 11 cm, for a total weight of 1.2 kg. The item is shipped immediately after purchase via tracked and insured service, carefully packed to ensure its integrity.
