THE LAST DAYS OF NAPOLÉON BY
Located in New Orleans, LA
This highly evocative bronze by Vincenzo Vela captures the deposed Emperor Napoléon on his deathbed, holding a map of Europe and lost in thought about what might have been. Remarkable among most portrayals of the exiled leader, this highly detailed sculpture depicts Napoléon at his most vulnerable. Nonetheless, Vela perfectly captures his still-heroic bearing, which imparts to this work a monumental quality and quiet dignity. The mate to this figure is the colossal marble at the Musée du Château de Malmaison, which was shown at the Paris Salon of 1867.
The founder of the verismo movement in Italy, Vela was one of the great exponents of realism in sculpture. Born in Ligornetto, Switzerland in 1820, he studied under celebrated sculptor, Benedetto Cacciatori. He was also influenced both by the work of Tuscan sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini, who seamlessly combined neoclassicism with naturalism and the romantic painting of Francesco Hayez...

'The Fisher Boy', Large Bronze, Medal of Honor, Paris Universal Exposition, 1900
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
A substantial lost wax bronze, cast after the original model by Eugène-Nicolas-Clément, Comte d''Astanière (French, 1841-1918). One of the larger-size castings in overall good condition and showing excellent patination. (N.B. Without fishing rod)
Eugene, the Comte d'Astaniere, was primarily known in his youth as a courageous and highly-decorated cavalry officer who distinguished himself repeatedly in combat, including against the Germans in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, in which campaign he was severely wounded and almost died.
During his prolonged recuperation, he turned his attention to art and, in particular, to sculpting. He studied intensively with Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguière (1831-1900) , the preeminent French sculptor of the day who would become his life-long friend and artistic mentor. D'Astaniere quickly mastered the art of sculpture and was recognized by the Salon of 1882 with a Gold Medal for his first exhibited work.
From that time forward, he accumulated numerous diplomas, medals and juried awards for his work. At the Salon, he received frequent medals and was soon elected to membership of the Jury.
Count d'Astaniere exhibited 'The Juggler,' a large marble, at the Salon of 1887, then sent a bronze entitled 'Acrobat' to the Salon of 1889. At the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, he received a bronze medal for the presentation of 'The Angler'. He exhibited in Moscow in 1891, at the 1893 Universal Exposition in Chicago receiving awards at both. He exhibited a marble entitled 'The White Monk' at the Salon of 1898 and obtained a medal of honor...
