19th Century Bronze Sculpture of Napoleon Crossing the Alps
About the Item
PRESENTING A LOVELY late 19C Bronze Sculpture of Napoleon Crossing the Alps.
19th Century Bronze of Napoleon on Horseback in Battle, with canon, etc at his feet and on his favorite horse, Marengo!
This sculpture is based upon the famous painting of “Napoleon Crossing the Alps” by Jacques Louis David circa 1805.
Napoleon Crossing the Alps (also known as Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass or Bonaparte Crossing the Alps) is the title given to the five versions of an oil on canvas equestrian portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte painted by the French artist Jacques-Louis David between 1801 and 1805. Initially commissioned by the King of Spain, the composition shows a strongly idealized view of the real crossing that Napoleon and his army made across the Alps through the Great St. Bernard Pass in May 1800.
We are of the opinion that this sculpture is from circa 1890 and is a wax mold re-casting.
We cannot find a signature, but it has good detail and naturally aged patina.
On black (white veined) marble base.
Quite a heavy piece, weighing 40lbs!

- 19th Century Pair of Polish/German Stoneware FiguresLocated in Dallas, TXPresenting a lovely 19th century pair of Polish/German stoneware figures. Quite rare! Not a matching pair but similarly themed, with the little girl holding a basket of kittens with one kitten climbing up her front and the other of a little boy climbing a tree stump with a snail at the base. The ‘Little Girl’ is painted stoneware or earthenware and we are of the opinion is Polish in origin (or possibly Russian). It does not have any identifiable markings but it was originally with another similar style figurine (not included in this sale) which had markings that we were of the opinion were Polish markings. The ‘Little Boy’ is painted pottery and we are of the opinion that it is either Polish or German in origin. It is slightly different in style an texture to the girl and has a more ‘bisque’ finish. The facial features are more defined and remind me of German bisque dolls...Category
