La Sirene
By Denys Puech
Located in New York, NY
DENYS-PIERRE PUECH
French, 1854-1942
La Sirene
Signed ‘D.PUECH’; inscribed F. BARBEDIENNE, Fondeur
Patinated Bronze circa 19th century
Foundry Cast: Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892)
37 1/2 in. x 27 in. x 16 in
Notes: Puech conceived the idea for ‘La Sirene’ during his stay at the Villa Medici when he fell passionately in love with the celebrated opera singer Emma Calvé, who was then performing in Rome. Peuch wrote, "it is to her that I owe the inspiration for the group." The sculpture shows a winged chimeric siren with a tail of a fish abducting a Ephebus. Puech noted the rarity of the scene of a woman abducting a man, rather than the more common depiction of a man carrying away a female victim. Peuch says, “I had the presentiment that, with the Siren's rape of the Ephebus, I could express the force of passion, which reached towards the unknown, which, itself, might be fidelity or the fall..." In Greek mythology the sirens seduced sailors with their singing only to lead them to their death in the sea.
Literature: Denys Puech...

Female Relief Plaque
By Henri Cros
Located in Chicago, IL
HENRI CROS (1840-1907) Female Relief Plaque, polychrome enameled stoneware, c. 1895; signed in black ink verso: “H. Cros”, and a scrap of paper from A.A. Hebrard, Paris attached verso; measuring h: 11.25 x w: 9.38 inches. The symbolist bust in relief of a nude young woman with strawberry blonde hair is a depiction of pensive reverie. With lips slightly pursed, she is lost in thought, looking inward. The female visage hovering just over the nude’s shoulder, perhaps an allusion to a fountain, is by contrast flat and lifeless. With lips parted to reveal a watery blue orifice and wavy tresses of hair blending into a watery expanse, the purely decorative nature of the fountain’s face...

Henri Désiré Gauquié was born in Flers-lez-Lille on 22 October 1858. He initially studied art at the Academy of Valenciennes under René Fache. After competing in Lille, he obtained a scholarship to study at the Paris School of Fine Art at the studio of Jules Cavelier. He started exhibiting at the Paris Salon from 1881. In 1886, he won a third class medal and a travel grant from the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts for his group ‘Perseus, Vanquisher of Medusa’. This was later purchased by the State for the museum of Agen. After spending time in Italy and Belgium, Gauquié returned to France. He went on to win several other medals at the Salon including second prize in 1890 for his sculpture of Brennus and first prize in 1895 for his marble group Bacchante and Satyr , now owned by the city of Tourcoing. He also won a bronze medal at the L’Exposition Universelle in 1889, and a silver medal in 1900. In the same year he was appointed knight of the Legion of Honour and promoted to the rank of Officer of the Order of Academic Palms.
He produced several public monuments in collaboration with the architect Henri Guillaume dedicated to public figures such as Alexandre Le Grand...

Provenance: Collection Saratoga Springs, NY
About
John Edward Jones was born in Dublin on May 2nd, 1806. He was the son of a miniature painter Edward Jones. He was trained as an engineer under Alexander Nimmo and worked with him on many important works in Ireland, including the building of the bridge at Waterford between 1829 in 1832, of which he was in charge. A taste and an aptitude for sculpture induced him to relinquish his prospects as an engineer and he commenced practice in London as a sculptor. He achieved considerable success, especially in portrait busts, and was employed by many notable persons of the time. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1844 and continue to do so until his death. He executed a considerable number of bust of Irish personages. He paid occasional visits to Dublin where he contributed to the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1847, 1852,1853 and 1854. A full-length statue by him of Sir Robert...
