About the Item

A handsome and most stately French 19th century patinated Bronze statue titled "Ad Lumen", signed by Émile Picault. This most striking Bronze statue depicts a classical male figure astride a sphere while seeming pointing to the heavens. He is seated with a book and a quill pen in his right hand. His left arm is raised with a torched flame symbolizing the Age of Enlightenment with the sphere below inscribed 'Ad Lumen' meaning "in the light". This period was during the 18th century when France enlightened Europe with its new philosophical ideas. This movement came from the great thinkers under Louis XV and Louis XVI: Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot and the Encyclopaesists J.J. Rousseau and Buffon. Wonderful and rich patination throughout.
