About the Item
Full-size marble figure by Belgian sculptor Louis Samain
Belgian, 1872
Measures: Figure: Height 147cm, width 55cm, depth 38cm
Pedestal: Height 76cm, diameter 46cm
Total: Height 223cm
This large life-size sculpture depicts a young and idealised hunter. The figure stands in classical contrapposto, with his legs crossed and hips slightly askance. The figure wears traditional hunting garb, which has been carved from the marble with spectacular dexterity and precision. The artist, Louis Samain, has rendered cold marble life-like: the subtle folds of the trousers, or tussles of the socks, or falling locks of hair, all seem to be captured from reality. The sculpture is supported on a large grey-marble podium.
The work is signed ‘L. Samain 1872’. Louis Samain was an important Belgian sculptor who achieved significant success in France, winning a gold medal at the 1889 Universelle Exposition in Paris.

- Classic Bronze Lion Statue by Josue Dupon Belgian Sculptor Art DecoBy Josue DuponLocated in Oakland, CAClassic decorative bronze by Josue Dupon. Classically trained, his work can be found throughout Belgium. Antwerp Zoo and other major installations. This unique work is from the period of 1896, Dupon was a contemporary of Carlos Bugatti who also was known for this style: realism and interpretations of the modern wild animals. Beautiful signature, stunning rendering and amazing quality. The posture of the male lion is very realistic, extremely life-like casting. This is where you see the connection from the Art Nouveau period and how it later became a very common direction also associated with the Art Deco period. Josuë Dupon (also Josué or Josue Dupon) was a Flemish sculptor and engraver. He received his education through the National Higher Institute for Fine Arts (1887). After his studies he first worked in the studio of sculptor Clément Carbon in Roeselare. He was good friends with sculptor Jules Lagae. In 1891 he won a gold medal with the monumental sculpture group Samson killing the lion and he became second in the Romeprijs for sculpture. From 1905-1934 he was a teacher of sculpture at the Antwerp Academy. Dupon was best known as a sculptor of realistic images of exotic animals. The placement of his Camemberter and two bronze groups at the entrance of the Antwerp Zoo confirmed that reputation. He also made busts, war memorials (Ichtegem, Berchem, Hoogstraten, Roeselare) and public monuments, such as the equestrian statue of Constant Lievens in Moorslede (unveiled in 1929). The statue Man...Category
