Romeo and Juliet

One of my favorite collections at Replacements, Ltd. is our extraordinary line of Armani figurines.  These delicately sculpted figurines are so painstakingly detailed that you stand in awe of the artist who designed them.  Each piece is classic and breathtaking.  Created in the style of the Renaissance masters, these figurines add an air of sophistication that is unparalleled in the world of figural art.

Consider, for example, this handsome sculpture of Romeo and Juliet.  Standing an impressive 25" tall, this amazing sculpture is accented with warm and endearing washed tones.  The ballet of the same name was composed by Sergei Prokofiev and was based on the William Shakespeare's infamous work, The Most and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.  The ballet is comprised of three acts and an epilogue.  The work premiered at the Kirov Theater in 1937 and is one of Prokofiev's most famous. 

Last year, I  had the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C and watch this gorgeous ballet.  Many are familiar with the Pyotr Tchaikovsky's famous work The Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture and confuse this piece with Prokofiev's ballet.  This is an easy mistake to make considering that Tchaikovsky is known for his ballets, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, etc. 

Armani's figurine is stunning in so many ways - as is all the works of this Italian master.  They are like 3D portraits suspended in time.  If you would like to view more of the stupendous works of Armani, then click here or visit our showroom.  This piece is currently being displayed on the J.P. Morgan Cherry Wet Bar.
