Bronze Female Figural statue "Le Crépuscule" by Emile-Andre Boisseau

About the Item

Emile-Andre Boisseau (French, 1842-1923) Le Crépuscule signed 'E. Boisseau' (on the base) Bronze height: 29 in. (74 cm.) Emile-André Boisseau was a regular exhibitor at the Salon from 1870, winning numerous prizes. The present work, Le Crépuscule (Twilight), was shown in marble at the Salon of 1883 where it was awarded the gold medal. In an illustrated article in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts in the same year, the critic H. Jouin described the group thus: "M. Boisseau a représenté le Crépuscule sous la forme d'un génie qui allume sa lampe nocturne pendant que les enfants sommeillent sous les ailes puissantes. L'artiste a donné un corps de femme au personnage qu'il voulait créer: le regard et l'attitude générale ont quelque chose de maternel. Le Crépuscule est une composition sobre et gracieuse." Boisseau himself was inspired to pen the following poem about his own work: "Le silence se fait. Dans l'ombre/Quand l'étoile du berger fuit/la nature sous le ciel sombre/Doucement s'endort. C'est la Nuit."

    By Antoine-Louis Barye
    Located in New York, NY
    Gorgeously dynamic sculpture of Theseus and the Centaur depicted in mid battle. Thesus has mounted the centaur whom he attempts to strike with a large stick. Thesus twists the Centaur's neck to face him as the mythical being's long hair and beard cascade down his face hi-lighting his crazed state while in battle. What sets this smaller casting apart from larger versions is a gilded foundry mark on the backside right and it's size which can fit within and compliment any space in the home. Artist: Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875) Date: 19th Century Signature: Signed ‘AL...
