Magdalena with Base by Ianelli Magdalena with Base by Ianelli

Alphonso Iannelli (1888-1968) was an important sculptor in and around the Chicago area in the early part of the last century. He is best known for his collaboration with Frank Lloyd Wright on the Midway Gardens entertainment complex. It was Iannelli that created all of the many sculptural elements at Midway Gardens, working from Mr. Wright’s drawings. Included in this huge body of work are the Midway Gardens Sprite sculptures.

Based on an original Iannelli piece titled “Magdalena”, this wonderful stylized art deco female form will make a great gift idea for the garden. The original piece is glazed terra cotta and was purchased at an art auction in Philadelphia. Iannelli created this sculpture for a slip cast manufacturer around 1911-15 just prior to his Midway Gardens commission.

Comes with pedestal base as shown. Cast in stone. Proudly made in the US.
