Renato Bertelli
Male, Deceased Person
1900 – 1974
Who was Renato Bertelli?
Renato Bertelli was an Italian Futurist artist.
His most, and perhaps only, noted work is the 1933 ceramic bust of Benito Mussolini in the aeroceramica style, Profilo continuo del Duce. The title is sometimes given as "Head of Mussolini" but is better known as "Head of Mussolini", "Continuous profile of Mussolini", or "Continuous Profile – Head of Mussolini". The sculpture is one block with the Mussolini's distinctive profile continuing around 360 degrees.
The sculpture was later mass produced in several versions, in bronzed terracotta, wood, and aluminium. Mussolini, with his taste for self-commemoration, approved it as an official portrait.
