Early 20th Century Life-Size Plaster Statue Attributed to Jean Rene Gauguin
About the Item
Attributed to Jean Rene Gauguin (French-danish, 1881-1961), the discus thrower Copenhagen, Circa 1926-1927
A lifesize sculpted and painted plaster statue figure on integral plinth (195cm high) . More than likely a maquette.
The son of Paul Gauguin, Jean followed his father into the arts working as a sculptor. Perhaps best known for his figural work for Bing & Grondhal he also specialised in life size studies culminating in winning a bronze medal at the 1924 Paris Olympics for his bronze life size figure of a boxer. This bronze figure stands in the State Museum of Art in Copenhagen whilst his plaster and cement model for it stands in front of the Arhus stadium. It seems that this lot, a more static version of a Diskoskater or diskuskast than his smaller more fluid bronzes, could have been a follow-up design to his award winning boxer.Condition Report: Unsigned. Sculpture is in two parts- top and base- surface of plaster is fragile and there have been restorations- with consequent colour variances including but limited to; left hand, areas above and below joint to front and bask, chest, shoulders etc. Also has taken some losses to margins- revealing white under-surface- Surface is dirty from atmosphere and handling.

Grand Tour copy through the "Point To Point" method directly from the original keeping its masterful proportions and Fine details in an exact size to Michelangelo's work. We have never seen a 19th century copy of this Renaissance Masterpiece of this size and are quite fortunate to be responsible for its stewardship until purchase by a discerning collector The original "Bacchus" is a marble sculpture by the master, Michelangelo, created circa 1496 when the artist was 21. This statue was originally commissioned by Cardinal Raffaele Riario. However, it was rejected by him and eventually found its way to Jacopo Galli, Cardinal Riario’s banker and a friend of the sculptor, who purchased it in 1506. Some 66 years later it was bought for the Medici and transferred to the royal house in Florence, Italy. Currently it can be viewed at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence. It is one of just two sculptures surviving Michelangelo’s initial period in Rome, with the other being Pieta. The artwork: This somewhat oversized...Category
