About the Item
Winston is a unique bronze sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 183 × 70 × 70 cm (72 × 27.6 × 27.6 in).
The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This bronze statue of Winston Churchill was commissioned by the Mayor of Cap d’Ail, a French Riviera town, to French artist Cécile Raynal.
During the post-war years, Winston Churchill spent many long stays at the Villa La Capponcina in Cap d'Ail, the former property of his friend, Lord Beaverbrook. In 1952, the town of Cap-d'Ail granted him the title of honorary city mayor; Cécile Raynal’s sculpture celebrates the 70th anniversary of this event.
The first cast of this sculpture is installed in the garden of Villa Capponcina, overlooking the coastal path.
Cécile Raynal uses sculpture as a way of exploring the world, between documentary and fiction. Thus she often sets up her workshop in remote, forgotten or marginal places, that she goes over and then reconstructs in clay. A prison, a retirement home, a hospital, a convent, a cargo-ship… are among the places in which she invites the inhabitants to pose for her, so as to sculpt their portraits and capture these rare encounters.

Cécile Raynal
Whether human or animal, Cécile Raynal’s figures are a way to explore the world. The artist travels to remote, forgotten or marginal places immortalising in clay life stories that she brings back to her studio. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018) and is the subject of ambitious public commissions such as the bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail (France). “The result of chance or sought-after encounters, my work starts with the sculpted portrait, a totemic record of each of these confrontations, and builds itself on the complicity, the exchanges and the correspondence resulting from them.”
