About the Item

Dylan Lewis Bronze Charging Black Rhino, Maquette S136 Charging Black Rhinoceros Maquette Numbered 4/15 DYLAN LEWIS (B. 1964) Bronze ‘Dylan Lewis, ‘SCS Foundry’ stamp The edition of number 4, of a series of 15 Signed and Numbered 4/15 This piece is also referenced in Christies catalog “Predators and Prey II” and “Sporting and Wildlife Art” June 5th 2013 This is a very special piece of early work from when Dylan was living in the Bush near Hoedspruit and drawing from Nature. The color, patina, form and detail are intricate and beautiful, the expression in the face and eyes is mesmerizing, you don't want to stop looking. It makes you understand why he is widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost sculptors of the animal form, he initially focused on the big cats; in recent years, he has used the human figure to explore our relationship with our inner wildness. His international career spans two decades and includes exhibitions in Paris, Sydney, Toronto, Houston and San Francisco, as well as numerous one-man exhibitions in London, where he is among one of the very few living artists who have held three solo auctions at Christies in London, of which his 2018 auction achieved a 100% sale result. ABOUT THE ARTIST Dylan Lewis was born in 1964 and raised in an artistic family in South Africa. His father was an accomplished sculptor, his mother and his grandmother were painters, and two great-grandfathers were an architect and cabinetmaker, respectively. Lewis initially followed in the family tradition, beginning his career as a painter, but later turned to sculpture.

Two French Bronze Figures of Giuliano and Lorenzo De' Medici
Located in Flower Mound, TX
This is a wonderful pair of French bronzes, Lorenzo di' Piero de' Medici also known as Lorenzo the Magnificent, and his younger brother Giuliano. Lorenzo is the larger of the two figures measuring 8.3" in height and 3.7" wide, and 3.4" deep, Giuliano is 8" high and 2.7" wide and 3.2" deep. Both are modelled opposing, seated, and clad in armor. These bronzes are from the 19th century, but from differing parts of the century. The model of Lorenzo is late 19th century, and the quality of the casting is good but not as good as that of Giuliano who would appear to be from the mid part of the 19th century. They make a good companion pair, but did not form part of the same casting run, and have been later paired up. Both have great coloring, with a similar dark brown and green patina. Provenance: These were part of the Fulwood Collection The Fulwood Collection comes from a Grade II listed rectory in the North of England. Formerly the childhood home of Sir Douglas Bader. The rectory was acquired by the late owner approximately 15 years ago. The house was formerly split into two separate houses, and with care he lovingly refurbished it back into a single house and refurnished in a blend of the Grand Tour style with Welsh and English provincial tastes. This property contained fine furniture, works of art, paintings, ceramics and other miscellaneous items some of which have been purchased by  “The Englishman’s Antiques
