Antique patinated bronze sculpture of a father and son embracing by Henri Plé
About the Item
This beautiful antique French sculpture depicts a tender moment between father and son. Made of fine patinated bronze, the full length figures of father and son are crafted in the naturalistic style that is typical of Plé's work. The father is dressed in furs and leans to embrace his son in an emotional and touching manner, before he heads to battle. The two figures are set on a naturalistic square plinth, which is signed 'Henri Ple'.
Henri Honoré Plé (French, 1853-1922) was a pupil of the renowned French sculptor Mathurin Moreau. Studying under Moreau provided Plé with a thorough training in the art of sculpture, while also allowing him to express new ideas and develop his own techniques. Plé quickly became a prestigious and well know sculptor, and exhibited in the Parisian Salon of 1877 and 1897, where his works were met with critical acclaim. As a prominent member of the Société des Artistes Français, Plé was heavily involved in the beginning of the Art Nouveau movement, and received a medal at the 1901 Exposition Universelle in Paris for his highly impressive works.
