F. Barbedienne fonduer Ferdinand Barbedienne (6 August 1810 – 21 March 1892) was a French metalworker and manufacturer, who was well known as a bronze founder. The son of a small farmer from Calvados, he started his career as a dealer in wallpaper in Paris. In 1838 he went into partnership with Achille Collas (1795-1859), who had just invented a machine to create miniature bronze replicas of statues. Together they started a business selling miniatures of antique statues from museums all over Europe, thus democratising art and making it more accessible to households.[2] From 1843 they extended their scope by reproducing the work of living artists and also diversified by making enamelled household objects. With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 the firm briefly had to switch to cannon founding owing to the shortage of metals but resumed business afterwards. Following Barbedienne's death in 1892, he was buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery and the firm was carried on by his nephew Gustave Leblanc until 1952. Among the principal artists reproduced by the firm were Antoine Louis Barye and Auguste Rodin. The Dying Galata (Italian: Galata morente...

Dimensions: (approx) 24" Tall, 29" Wide, 11" Deep Probably 70lbs Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use History: NANDI: THE DIVINE STEED AND SYMBOL OF DEVOTION Introduction In the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, few figures carry the depth of symbolism and spiritual significance as Nandi, the divine bull. As the sacred mount of Lord Shiva, Nandi occupies a revered place in Hindu culture and philosophy. In this blog post, we will delve into the multifaceted significance of Nandi, exploring the spiritual, cultural, and symbolic dimensions that make this celestial creature an indispensable part of the Hindu pantheon. The Vahana of Lord Shiva: Nandi's most prominent role is that of the vahana, or vehicle, of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. In this capacity, Nandi is not just a physical mount but a symbol of unwavering devotion and loyalty. The inseparable bond between Lord Shiva and Nandi signifies the importance of humility, obedience, and dedication on the spiritual path. Symbol of Strength and Virility: Depicted as a powerful and muscular bull, Nandi embodies strength and virility. The bull is a symbol of fertility and abundance in Hindu culture, representing the life-sustaining forces of nature. Nandi's robust form serves as a reminder of the inherent power within all living beings and the vital energy that sustains the universe. Guardian of Shiva's Abode: In many Shiva temples, one often encounters a prominent statue of Nandi positioned at the entrance. This is not merely decorative; it is symbolic of Nandi's role as the gatekeeper to Lord Shiva's abode. Devotees believe that Nandi safeguards the sanctity of the sacred space and acts as a spiritual protector, warding off negative energies. A Beacon of Spiritual Discipline: Nandi's demeanor and presence are reflective of spiritual discipline and meditation. Often depicted in a state of deep contemplation, Nandi serves as an inspiration for seekers on the spiritual path. The bull's stillness and focused gaze symbolize the importance of inner reflection and concentration as essential components of the journey toward self-realization. Cultural and Artistic Significance: Beyond its spiritual and religious connotations, Nandi holds immense cultural and artistic significance. Sculptors and artists across centuries have crafted intricate depictions of Nandi, showcasing the depth of Hindu artistic heritage. The various poses and expressions of Nandi in art not only tell stories from mythology but also contribute to the aesthetic richness of temples and cultural artifacts.

Festivals and Celebrations: Nandi is also celebrated in festivals like Maha Shivaratri, where devotees pay homage to Lord Shiva and his divine mount. During these festivities, the spiritual significance of Nandi is magnified, with rituals, prayers, and processions that honor the inseparable bond between the bull and the lord. Conclusion: In conclusion, Nandi is far more than a mythical creature or a decorative element in Hindu iconography. As the loyal steed of Lord Shiva, Nandi symbolizes profound spiritual truths, embodying qualities of devotion, strength, and discipline. Whether gracing the entrance of a temple or adorning the altar in a devotee's home, the significance of Nandi extends beyond religious boundaries, touching the hearts and minds of those who seek inspiration on their spiritual journey. The divine presence of Nandi serves as a timeless reminder of the enduring values that enrich the human experience.
