This 3D-printed Museum Replica faithfully reproduces Giambologna’s renowned marble sculpture, Fata Morgana, created circa 1572. The original work depicts a nude female figure in a dynamic, spiraling pose, evoking themes of renewal and enchantment drawn from Arthurian legends. Commissioned by Bernardo Vecchietti for his villa near Florence, Italy, the sculpture originally formed part of a fountain in an artificial grotto, symbolizing transformation and illusion. Measuring approximately 99 x 68 cm in the original, this replica captures the intricate details of the figure’s anatomy, including one hand resting on her breast and the other holding a shell, rendered with precision to convey fluid movement and lifelike texture.
Fata Morgana is crafted using advanced 3D printing technology, this edition is available in the following materials:
– White Nylon: Polished for a smooth surface, providing the most economical option with enhanced tactile quality.
– Black Nylon: Treated post-printing for durability, scratch resistance, and consistent color across batches, suitable for display in various conditions.
– Bronze: Produced via metal casting from a 3D-printed wax master model, resulting in an elegant, metallic finish.
– Gold Plated Brass: Cast and plated for a luxurious gold sheen, combining durability with opulent aesthetics.
– White Rhodium Plated Brass: Plated with white rhodium for a bright, silver-like luster and enhanced corrosion resistance.
For metal options (bronze, brass, and plated variants), the production involves creating a wax master via 3D printing, followed by plaster molding and liquid metal injection to achieve high-fidelity replication.
