Add to ORKGDetail showing head; In the early 1930s, Giacomo Manzù visited Rome, where the sight of the Pope flanked by two cardinals in St. Peter's Basilica struck him as a singularly timeless image. From the late 1930s to the late 1950s, the sculptor produced more than fifty cardinals--standing and seated, large and small, in bronze, alabaster, and marble. Over this long series, Manzù increasingly contained the cardinal figure in rigid compact forms that evoked funerary pyramids or pillars. With only one exception, the cardinals were all conceived without a model, their features invented entirely by the artist. Source: The Getty [website]; http://www.getty.edu/ (accessed 7/10/2010
