Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse Furniture

A simply exquisite and rather rare cabinet bronze sculpture capturing the seated figure of Albrecht Durer, the level of attention to detail achieved in such a small footprint is noteworthy. We presently have a nearly full-size bust of Albrecht Durer in the shop by Albert Carrier-Belleuse and it is interesting just how similar the detailing is the face of both, despite the vast different in sizes. Behind his foot and resting against a naturalistic stump-like seat is presumably his collection of engravings, the cover titling the sculpture “Albert Durer...

ALBERT ERNEST CARRIER-BELLEUSE (FRENCH, 1824-1887) BRONZE SCULPTURE OF SCOTTISH SOLDIER "LE HIGHLANDER" Foundry mark of E. de Labroue and signed on base "A. Carrier" A truly exceptional work from a model by the Romantic sculptor Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, this is one of the most detailed and striking military works we've carried. The figure is of such exquisite realism. The proud figure is complicated, cast with a broad array of accessories, the most noteworthy being his 17" long rifle. The rifle is of such excellent detail that it almost appears to have been cast directly from a period long rifle and translated into bronze. The surface is finished with utmost integrity, all of the filing and chasing work perfectly executed and left invisible beneath a brown, green and black patina. The overall result is very moving and magnetic - it is a sculpture that warrants hours of close examination and enjoyment, one that captures a sense of intensity and passion. Regarding the casting of this sculpture, Kjellberg notes that the foundry of E. de Labroue, established at 10 Rue des Filles-du-Calvaire, is specifically known for it's casting of this and a handful of other works by Carrier-Belleuse as well as major works by Pradier, Polet, Feuchére, Michel-Pascal, and Lequesne. The lower edge is signed by the foundry "E de Labroue Flt".
