Italian term or phrase: cono d’ombra

Context: Essay on the sculpture and painting of Giacomo Manzoni

Sentence:Tutti elementi, questi, che assieme alla licenza delle masse da muscoli e ossatura e al gioco di sproporzioni, asimmetrie e sbilanciamenti, tradiscono un debito consumatosi nel raggio della scultura coeva e più precisamente nel cono d’ombra di Arturo Martini.

Paragraph:
Rispetto al proprio referente, inoltre, Manzù si manteneva fedele al dettaglio scultoreo. Particolari come gli occhi, i capelli, la pelle animale della veste e le unghie delle mani erano stati realizzati incidendo la superficie in terracotta come fosse un disegno, con un fine descrittivo e narrativo, noncurante di potenziare la geometria ideale della scultura né di sublimarne lo statuto materico. Tutti elementi, questi, che assieme alla licenza delle masse da muscoli e ossatura e al gioco di sproporzioni, asimmetrie e sbilanciamenti, tradiscono un debito consumatosi nel raggio della scultura coeva e più precisamente nel cono d’ombra di Arturo Martini.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Yes, this did occur to me ... thanks for the confirmation! I think I just might go for 'influence' however as in the context I think 'sphere' is redundant...
