Large, Substantial Bronze Urn with Mythological Figures in Bas Relief
About the Item
Beautifully sculpted and cast, this large and remarkable bronze urn is enlivened with a series of nude mythological figures in bas relief, the dark bronze color highlighted with areas of verdigris, indicating that it sat in an outdoor garden. The figures are superbly modeled, and the relief is high, bringing great drama to the scenes. The figures are clearly inspired by Greek and Roman sculpture, but the two large handles are executed in a florid, Renaissance manner. The bronze is heavy and substantial, indicating that it dates to the turn of the 20th century, and the piece sits on a marble base.

- "Algernon Sullivan Plaque, " Rare Bas Relief with Nude Figures by Jules RoineBy Jules-Edouard Roiné 1Located in Philadelphia, PAThis rare and important relief sculpture honors Algernon Sydney Sullivan, one of the most admired and respected attorneys and civic leaders active in New York in the late 19th century. Born a Hoosier, he moved to New York by 1860, and though an ardent abolitionist, felt honor-bound to step forward to defend the sailors of the Confederate ship Savannah, captured by the Union early in the Civil War. He served in the public sector for a decade and fought the Tweed gang. Later, Sullivan created two of the more important and influential law firms in New York in his era -- one of them, Sullivan and Cromwell, continues today -- but he always remained supportive of the poor who could not afford to retain an attorney for legal assistance. In his honor, the Sullivan Fountain was erected in Van Cortlandt...Category
