Bronze Sculpture "David avant le Combat” by Antonin Mercie & Barbedienne
By F. Barbedienne Foundry, Antonin Mercie
Located in Shippensburg, PA
Bronze Model Of "David Avant Le Combat” After Marius Jean Antonin Mercié (FRENCH, 1845-1916) Inscribed "F. Barbedienne Fondeur Paris 130 / A MANIGOT" and signed "A Mercie" to base Item # 806XGP21Q This is an exceedingly attractive work by Antonin Mercié exhibiting commanding proportions and presence. Retaining a dark brown patina with superb variation in the coloring throughout, the sculpture captures a certain innocence and confidence of a warrior in the making. The subject is that of David preparing for his combat with Goliath, the rustic sling wrapped around wrist with his fingers grasping the smooth round stone that would eventually defeat his giant adversary. Cast in several editions, this is one of the largest versions; it is noted in Berman vol. I with 31 1/2" being the original edition by F. Barbedienne. Smaller editions were reduced by the A. Colas procedure, these usually sealed with the accompanying stamp. It was sculpted by Mercié in his early 1930s, at which point he was already a famous sculptor. Having exhibited his Gloria Victis in plaster at the Salon in 1874 and in bronze in 1875, both years with extraordinary success, David Avant Le Combat was introduced to the public in 1876 (no. 3477) as a sculpture in marble. In the original catalog of Barbedienne, this cast illustrated on page 48, it notes: "Grandeur de l'original ...... 500 When compared with Mercie’s David...

'David Vainqueur de Goliath' a Bronze Figure by Antonin Mercié, circa 1880
By Antonin Mercie, Ferdinand Barbedienne
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
'David Vainqueur de Goliath' - A fine Patinated bronze figure by Antonin Mercié, cast Ferdinand Barbedienne. French, circa 1880. Rich brown patiantion with gold highlights, the base cast with a lozenge with the Hebrew for David and the base with a roundel for Réduction mécanique Collas. The figure depicts the Biblical story of young David's final triumph over Goliath and is one of the most recognisable and celebrated sculptures of the nineteenth century. Influenced by the works of Verrocchio and Donatello, the piece earned Mercié a first class medal as well as the rank of Chevalier de légion d'honneur at the Paris Salon of 1872. The life-size version of Mercié's David is in the permanent collection of the Museé D'Orsay (RF 186, LUX 74). Marius-Jean-Antonin Mercié (1845- 1916) was born in Toulouse and studied at the École des Beaux Arts, Paris, under Alexandre Falguière and François Jouffroy, He made his debut at the Salon in 1868 when he won the celebrated Grand Prix de Rome with the group 'Thesée vainqueur du Minotaure'. This entitled him to study in Rome, and whilst studying in Rome from 1869 to 1873, he already executed the models for his first two popular works, 'David' and 'Gloria Victis'. In 1870 whilst Mercié was still in Italy, the Prussians invaded France and he began, somewhat prematurely, modelling Gloria Victis to commemorate his country’s imminent victory. Unfortunately the victory never came and Mercié re-modelled his sculpture replacing the victorious soldier with one of defeat thereby transforming an allegory of ‘Glory to the Victors’ into one of ‘Glory to the Vanquished’. The model for the wounded soldier was reputably based on his friend and fellow sculptor Henri Regnault who was killed on the last day of the war. The full-size plaster model of Gloria Victis was exhibited at the Salon of 1874, winning the Medaille d'Honneur and critical acclaim. It was then purchased by the City of Paris for the sum of twelve thousand francs and cast in bronze by Victor Thiébaut for a further eight thousand francs. The original bronze is now placed in the central courtyard of the Paris Hôtel de Ville. The plaster version was re-exhibited at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1878, alongside bronze reductions of the group by Barbedienne. After Mercié completed the plaster model of his David in Rome, it was also sent to Paris and exhibited at the Salon of 1872, where it was a great success, winning a first class medal. A life-size bronze version of the work was then exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1878 and acquired by the Museé du Luxembourg. In 1873 Mercié was given the Cross of the Legion of Honour - an unprecedented award for a sculptor who was still a student at the French Academy in Rome. In 1882 he enjoyed further great success with a group ‘Quand Même...

Antonin Mercie French Bronze Sculpture of David Vainqueur, Barbedienne
By F. Barbedienne Foundry, Antonin Mercie
Located in Shippensburg, PA
Also known as "David with the Head of Goliath", this very fine sculpture not only won a first class medal but also resulted in Mercie being honored with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, the only artist ever to receive this distinction while still a student at the French Academy in Rome. Documented extensively, this is one of his most famous and most treasured works and was cast by Barbedienne in six different sizes, five of which are offered in their 1886 catalog - 110, 92, 73, 46 and 29.5 cm. The present example is referred to in their catalog as "La Reduction no. 4" with a noted height of 46cm and base length of 11cm. The original sculpture, cast in life size for the 1872 Salon at a height of 185cm (72.5") is held by Musee d'Orsay in Paris; other examples held by museum include a 69 cm example at Montpellier and a 70 cm example at Troyes. Exceedingly attractive, the sculpture exhibits a realism of a nearly photographic dimension. The young David is portrayed scantily clad only in a simple loincloth, lifting the vast sword of Goliath into it's oversized sheath as he has just parted the head from it's body, his foot still disrespectfully perched in Goliath's eye. The form exudes a certain carefree and relaxed demeanor, not exemplifying a warrior who has just defeated a man two or three times his size, but rather a cool air of confidence having done a significant deed. Goliath's head is breached just above his right eye where the stone of David's sling struck him. David's handsome and clean appearance is a stark contrast to the course and unkempt appearance of his fallen foe. The sculpture patination is particularly beautiful, being a very well preserved reddish-brown with traces of black preserved under what appears to be wax. The sculpture is marked "Reduction Mechanique Collas Brevete", having been reduced in size from the 185cm original using the method of inventor Achille Collas; along the rim “332 F. Barbedienne, Fondeur Paris" is engraved and the front of the circular base reads "David" in Hebrew. The chased and filed finish work is exceptional, as is the case with most work from the F. Barbedienne foundry. At just twenty-three, as a student both of Jouffroy and Falguiere at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Mercie won the Prix de Rom in 1868 with his Thesee Vainqueur du Minotaure. He remained in Rome from 1869-1873, creating both of his most famous works: David Vainqueur...
