"Samson and the Lion, " Large, Rare Art Deco Sculptural Panel with Tile Mosaic
About the Item
A tour de force example of Art Deco wall sculpture, this depiction of Samson slaying the lion was made by Valentin Shabaeff, a Russian-Canadian artist who settled in Montreal. Shabaeff became known for bas relief sculptures executed in ceramic, often large mosaics for commercial and residential projects, such as a panel with nudes and deer for the Hotel Vancouver. This scene is full of energy and vividly finished, and the glazes include a brilliant gold around the edges, and subtle shades of purple, slate-blue and chartreuse elsewhere. The panel is signed on the lower right hand corner.
