"The Baron
MAROCHETTI exhibits an emblematic figure of the ANGEL OF SLEEP, with bat-like
wings, and gesture expressive of silence. It is designed to be placed above the
doors of a mausoleum for which it is a suitable emblem". This short text
accompanies the wood engraving of this object in the Art Journal Illustrated
Catalogue of the Exhibition of the Products of Industry of All Nations, 1851, p.148. It
does not state in what material the angel is made. The figure kneels on a
bracket, with a cartouche bearing the cross of the House of Savoy. This is in
fact a figure which Marochetti had modelled seventeen years earlier, for the
tomb of the Marchese di San Tommaso, in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris
(see entry). We are fortunate in having this wood engraving, because the stone
figure on the tomb is so worn as to be unrecognisable, and no other images of it
show so clearly the figure's featherless bat-like wings.
