About the Item

An antique 19th century French classical bronze figure of a seated Euterpe by Pierre Alexandre Schoenewerk. Signed ‘Schoenewerk’ to the oblong base, this French piece has a wonderful Neoclassical flair carved by an exceptional sculptor while telling a story of mythology. Euterpe was one of the nine Greek Muses, known as the Goddess of Music, Song and Dance. She is depicted in a seated position with a small harp-like instrument perched behind her. Dating to circa 1890, this large scale version has a desirable bronze patina, showcasing the life like character of its subject and capturing the presence of the full-scale antique in beautiful detail. Pierre Alexander Schoenewerk (1820-1885) Pierre Alexandre Schoenewerk (1820-1885) was a 19th century romantic French sculptor known for his works in bronze and marble. Some of which can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts, in Angers, the Museum of Picardy, in Amiens, the vestibule of the Opera Garnier and the court yard of the Louvre Museum, Paris, and many others. The renowned sculpture developed his skills from French master Pierre Jean David d'Angers (1788-1856) after receiving early training under the painter Pierre Jules Jollivet (1794-1871) and the sculptor Henri Joseph Triqueti (1807-1874). Today his works lives on to be appreciated over 100 years later still evoking quality and master craftsmanship.
