Ernesto Biondi
Ernesto Biondi (January 30, 1855 – 1917) was an Italian sculptor who won the ''grand prix'' at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1905 he sued the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art for breach of contract after they refused to display his ''Saturnalia''. The New York Supreme Court ruled against him, stating that the museum director did not have the authority to initiate contracts without a vote from the board of trustees. Biondi preferred to work with bronze and often explored themes from ancient Rome or the Middle East.
==Biography==
Biondi was born January 30, 1855 in Morolo, near Frosinone Italy. He studied at Rome's Accademia di San Luca under Girolamo Masini. He first came to wide recognition in 1883, when one of his sculptures was exhibited at a national exposition in Rome.〔Willard (1900), p. 593.〕 At the 1893 Chicago World's Fair thirteen of his works were displayed.〔Willard (1900), p. 594.〕 He won the ''grand prix'' at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris for a sculpture that "commemorate() the triumph of health over disease" in Cisterna, Italy.〔Sallares (2002), p. 234.〕 Biondi also won a competition to design a work for the Republic of Chile to honor two people important in its battle for independence from Spain. Helen Zimmern, in her book ''The Italy of the Italians'', describes the work as depicting "two statesmen are raised on high upon a quadrangular base of bronze, one sitting, and one standing. ... The life work and merits of the two legislators is expressed allegorically around a magnificent base rich in symbolic figures".〔
