Bite, Panthers, Bronze, Marble, France, circa Late 19th Century, Masson
About the Item
Grip. Blued bronze, marble. France, towards the end of the 19th century.
Blued bronze sculpture on an oval marble base veined in green tones that shows two lionesses or two panthers immersed in a fight, one biting the neck of the other and both with their claws, limbs and muscles in tension. It is necessary to highlight both the quality of the design and composition as well as that of the modeling and casting, since a series of striking details can be clearly seen in the work.
On the engraved base there is an inscription linked to Clovis-Edmond Masson (Paris, France, 1838-1913). Trained with Antoine-Louis Barye, Rouillard and Santiago, he regularly showed his work (mainly animal-themed and almost always using bronze, wax or plaster) at the Paris Salon between 1867 and 1909. Thanks to the popularity and quality of his works, numerous bronze figures were made for the interiors of outstanding residences. Currently, the most valued works are those of felines in violent attitudes and postures or showing strength, which seem to anticipate what was usual in this type of art in France between 1910 and 1930.
