Italian, 1852–1929
Vincenzo Gemito was an Italian artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art. Vincenzo Gemito was born in Naples.
Vincenzo Gemito (July 16, 1852 – March 1, 1929) was an Italian sculptor and artist. Although he worked in various studios of well-known artists in his native Naples, Rome, and Paris, he is considered to have largely been self-taught, the reason he produced such distinctive works for that time, replacing sentiment with outstanding realism. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics.
