Mother and Child
Located in Brussel, BE
Superb sculpture in white Carrara marble representing a mother carrying her child by the Belgian artist Alphonse Van Beurden.
The delicacy of the drapery, the expressions of the faces and the realism of this work testify to the unparalleled talent of A. Van Beurden.
This theme of mother and child was very fashionable in the 19th century, and other artists such as Paul Troubetzkoy and Jean Boucher also tackled the timeless theme of maternal love.

The Eagle Hunter
Located in Brussel, BE
Title : The Eagle Hunter
Artist : Jef Lambeaux (1852 Belgium – 1908) is without a doubt the most remarkable sculptural talent of the second half of the nineteenth century in Belgium. In the face of his opponents, this uncommonly energetic man built up an enormous oeuvre that continues to arouse admiration and amazement. Originality in the broadest sense of the word is the first feature of his practice. His lifestyle also assured him of a unique place in the artistic circles of the vibrant Belgium of the time. The empathetic loner that he was, coupled with undiluted singularity and a generous imagination, clearly distinguish his works from that which his fellow sculptors were producing. With an enthusiasm reminiscent of Rubens, Jordaens and certainly also Antoine Wiertz (1806-1865) Jef Lambeaux, unintentionally produced countless monumental sculptures that provoked a wide range of reactions, on both an aesthetic and an ethical level. His excellent craftsmanship was never questioned. Bravura was never far off in his group scenes that were as dynamic as they were complex, and often larger than life: bronze battle scenes, wrestlers, boxers, heavy-set centaurs, abductions, and so forth. But there were also monumental marble sculptures with titles such as The murderer, Love and drunkenness and of course his magnum opus, an enormous white marble relief (8 x 12 meters!), worthy of Rodin, depicted an unprecedented dramatic spectrum of the Human Passions.
His energetic life that was so much more than just a successful career, not only led to the creation of titanic artworks, but also to multiple representations of light footed young...
