Wildboars by Calyxte Campe

Tender image of a regular visitor to our countryside and today to our cities.
In the great Tuscan tradition, the wild boar is the pride of a wild and uncontaminated bucolic imagery which at the same time has always coexisted with rural settlements in a continuous conflict of love and hate.
The symbol of the city of Florence and of the Medici power is the majestic Leone Marzocco by Donatello but the standard-bearer of the Florentine native is undoubtedly the "Little Pig", the famous sculpture of the wild boar by Tacca adored from an early age by the children of Florence and the first real discovery of the great local artistic heritage since his youth.
Campe takes up a dear theme and tackles it with his usual unsettling naturalism that gives us a somewhat known and loved image, in this case an adorable mother boar with her calf.
