Siegfried Puchta
Classic Cast Bronze Sculpture of a Horse

About the Item

A realistic sculpture of a standing horse in bronze on a black marble base. Bronze base is patinated in a different tone to imitate ground. Siegfried (Siggy) Puchta was born in 1933 in Germany into a sculptor’s family. He arrived in Canada in 1953 - an ambitious 20 year old with talent and a burning desire to succeed as a sculptor. In 1965 he was an accepted member of the Sculptors Society of Canada. He has exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Quebec City and other fine galleries across Canada. He has also shown his work internationally, in galleries in Portugal, Mexico City, Canada and the USA and earned a coveted commission for the Jockey Club of Canada in 1983. His work has been commissioned by many public institutions - notably the Ontario Police Memorial and the Firefighters Memorial at Provincial Government Building, Queens Park, Toronto. Others can be found at the Cathedral Church in Chicago Illinois, the Bluewater Bridge in Sarnia at the US/Canada crossing, Toronto City Council, the U.S. Mint, The Marilyn Bell Award (1st person to swim Lake Ontario) in Toronto,) and the Ted Rogers Memorial statue which once stood at 1 Blue Jays Way.

Textured Contemporary Abstract Painting 'Winter in the City I'
Located in Toronto, ON
Recycled industrial press ink lends Latour's work a saturation of colour and textural detail that is unique to the medium. Through careful manipulation he is able to craft paintings that have intricate coral-like surfaces. 'Winter in the City I' is the first of a pair of pieces that evoke the bustle of a city with the whiteout of a winter's day. This piece evokes David Milne's style of using white space to represent the season while Latour's signature colour saturation comes across in the bold orange and green accents through the piece.

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...
