Émile Antoine Bourdelle
Prière du Christ - Original Watercolor - Early 20th Century

Early 20th Century

About the Item

Prière du Christ is an original modern artwork realized by the French artist and sculptor Antoine Bourdelle (Montauban, 1861 - 1929) in the first years of the 20th Century. Original colored watercolor on paper. Hand-signed in pencil by the artist on the upper left corner: Bourdelle. Titled on the lower right corner in pencil: Prière du Christ. Excellent conditions. Beautiful and fresh painting depicting christ in prayer. The figure is luminous and the background completely blue. The color gives a great brightness to the whole painting. The figure of Christ is kneeling and wearing a very bright white toga. This work has been realized by the French artist Antoine Bourdelle (Montabaun, 1861 - 1929). Born Émile Antoine Bordelles, he was an influential and prolific French sculptor and teacher. He was a student of Auguste Rodin, a teacher of Giacometti and Henri Matisse, and an important figure in the Art Deco movement and the transition from the Beaux-Arts style to modern sculpture. His studio became the Musée Bourdelle, an art museum dedicated to his work. In 1885, he moved into the studio on 16, impasse du Maine - which is now the museum. That same year, his paster cast of La Première victoire d'Hannibal (The First Victory of Hannibal) won a medal at the Salon of French Artists. In 1900, Bourdelle decorated the theatre of the Grevin Museum. In 1909, Bourdelle started teaching at the Grande Chaumière Academy, where his students included Alberto Giacometti, Germaine Richier, Vieira da Silva and Otto Gutfreund. Exhibited in 1910 at the Salon of the National Society of Fine Arts, Bourdelle's Héraklès archer (Hercules the Archer) was acclaimed by the public and the critics.
