19th Century Classical Bronze Clock / Sculpture, by Aug. Moreau

About the Item

Bronze sculpture with brown patina including a clock and signed Auguste Moreau. It features a woman wearing a flowing dress who is standing on a globe. The title printed on a small plaque reads: SÉLÉNÉ par Aug. MOREAU and is annotated with: Récompensé au Salon (Rewarded at the Salon). In Greek mythology, Selene, the goddess of the moon, is the sister of Helios (the Sun) and Eos (the dawn). She is generally described as a beautiful woman with a dazzlingly white face, clothed with long flowing robes. Auguste Moreau (1834 – 1917) was a French sculptor born in Dijon. The third and youngest son of sculptor and painter Jean-Baptiste Moreau, Auguste began creating sculptural works alongside his older brothers Hippolyte and Mathurin.
