La Casta Susanna by Urbano Lucchesi
Urbano Lucchesi
1844 - 1906 | Italian
La Casta Susanna
(The Chaste Susanna)
Marble
This elegant statue entitled La Casta Susanna depicts the virtuous biblical figure Susanna, expertly crafted by Italian sculptor Urbano Lucchesiâthe most important sculptor of nineteenth-century Lucca, Italy. The narrative of Susannaâfound in versions of the Book of Danielâportrays her as a virtuous wife unjustly accused of adultery by two elders when she rejects their advances. Daniel's intervention reveals discrepancies in the elders' stories, ultimately vindicating Susanna and highlighting her moral integrity. Numerous artists have depicted this narrative, notably during the early Christian era and the later Renaissance and Baroque periods.
This stunning marble statue presents Susanna in a classically inspired pose, her figure exemplifying an elegant contrapposto crafted by a master artisan. A sheet covers her form in modesty, carved to appear soft and lightâa remarkable achievement in marble. Likewise, her features are rendered with an expert hand, appearing almost lifelike in stone.
Urbano Lucchesi, renowned for his significant contributions to the artistic heritage of Lucca and beyond, is the most prominent artist in nineteenth-century Lucca. His works are integral to the cityâs cultural landscape, with prominent sculptures adorning its streets and squares. Notable works include busts of Giuseppe Mazzini, Benedetto Cairoli and Vincenzo Consani, as well as monuments to Giuseppe Garibaldi and the fallen of Italyâs battles. Lucchesiâs influence extended to Florence, where he created the monument to Donatello outside the sculptorâs studio, and to Viareggio, where he crafted the impressive monument to the romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
La Casta Susanna is not only a stunning representation of a biblical tale but also a sculpture that embodies the artistic and cultural essence of its era. Statues of the same figure can be seen in museums worldwide and at churches such as the Santa Maria di Loreto.
