Carne altrui 1884

"Carne altrui" (1884) is a sculptural work by Italian artist Medardo Rosso, renowned for his innovative approach to sculpture. Rosso's "carne altrui" ("the flesh of others") is a powerful portrayal of a figure seemingly enveloped in another, creating a sense of both intimacy and unease. The rough, unfinished surface of the sculpture, reminiscent of unworked clay, further amplifies the immediacy and visceral nature of Rosso's artistic vision. This work, a hallmark of Rosso's artistic style, is a striking example of his exploration of the human form and its emotional weight.
