About the Item

Émile Pinedo 1840-1916 French Bronze Reliefs of Minerva and Mars Bronze These exceptional bronze reliefs depicting the Roman deities Minerva and Mars represent the pinnacle of 19th-century French bronze casting, executed by master sculptor Émile Pinedo. The paired compositions showcase the artist's mastery in capturing both the classical power and beauty of these mythological figures, rendered with the technical precision that established Pinedo among the foremost bronze founders of his era. Minerva, goddess of wisdom and warfare, is portrayed in profile with her characteristic plumed helmet adorned with elaborate decorative elements. Mars, god of war, appears equally commanding with his ornate military regalia and powerful visage, the intricate detailing of his armor and flowing drapery showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to surface texture and form. Émile Pinedo established himself as one of Paris' most accomplished sculptors and bronze founders, inheriting both his father's foundry and his dedication to excellence in bronze casting. Making his debut at the prestigious Paris Salon of 1870, his bronzes became synonymous with the highest standards of Parisian craftsmanship, combining technical mastery with artistic vision. Today, his works remain highly coveted by collectors and institutions alike.

Girardon’s Equestrian Portrait of Louis XIV
Located in New Orleans, LA
King Louis XIV, one of France's greatest monarchs, sits confidently astride a prancing steed in this bronze equestrian statue. The extraordinary work is a reduction of the portrait of the Sun King by François Girardon, one of the most noted and influential sculptors of the period. Looking back to the great masterpieces of antiquity, Girardon took his inspiration from the seminal ancient Roman marble of Marcus Aurelius, now in the Musei Capitoline (Rome). Louis XIV is thus portrayed here as a conquering Roman hero, his costume adorned with many neoclassical motifs, hand outstretched in a gesture of command. The result is an imposing royal portrait of power and absolute authority that pays homage to one of the most important sovereigns in French history. It was in 1685, at the very height of his rule, when Louis XIV commissioned the monumental bronze of himself from the great Girardon. As sculptor to the king, Girardon was a key figure in the decoration of the gardens at the Château de Versailles, and he was later commissioned to complete several important royal...

Bronze Sculpture “Surrender 8”
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries, museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
