Questions About Orpheus And The Animals
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    The most famous animal sculptor of all time is arguably Antoine-Louis Barye. The French artist was acclaimed not only for his skill but also as the founder of what became known as the French Animalier School. Barye's specialty was wild game such as lions, tigers and elephants, but he also created equestrian groups and mythological figures, typically in bronze. In order to realistically depict animal anatomy, he spent much time at the Jardin des Plantes menagerie in Paris. Explore a variety of Antoine-Louis Barye sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
