Description

The Moors and The Bell, Venice, Italy
Standing on top of the Clock Tower at the Piazza San Marco in beautiful Venice, Italy is an active sculpture, in which two figures are shown striking a large, weathered bell.
Detail:
*"On a terrace at the top of the tower are two great bronze figures, hinged at the waist, which strike the hours on a bell. One is old and the other young, to show the passing of time and, although said to represent shepherds (they are wearing sheepskins) or giants (they are huge figures of great mass, necessary so that their form can be recognized at a distance) they are known as "the Moors" because of the dark patina acquired by the bronze. The bell is also original and is signed by Simeone Campanato, who cast it at the Arsenal in 1497."
