The Light is a table lamp depicting a lithe female figure wrapped in sinuous, elegant drapes, with her arms and her gaze uplifted as she advances.
A fine, delicate piece of polished and opaque porcelain links the sinuous movement of the feminine figure to the protective transparency of the lampshade.
A lamp with a mythical theme: a satyr puts his arms around a maiden, who hesitates between shyness and abandon.

This is a flower holder in biscuit porcelain, made up of three figures merging together in a weave of veils. The iconography is inspired by a manifesto depicting dancing muses designed by Leonardo Bistolfi for the 1902 Turin Exposition.
VASO DELLE TRE GRAZIE - 020 6580 00000 - h cm 39 - inch 15 1/3
As in all of the Liberty collection, the decoration of the fruit holder was based on the figures illustrated in Leonardo Bistolfi’s manifesto for the 1902 Turin Exposition: four female figures, all Muses, shown in all their grace and elegance. This copy, like the Three Graces Vase, refuses to adhere to conventional strictures, just as in modern ceramics. In this period at Doccia, new shapes were being experimented with. In this case it was a quadrangular silhouette with four female heads in relief on the edge. The female figure with long hair and wind-swept robes is canonical in Art Nouveau iconography.
