After E. Lancere, E. Naps, Tsar's Falconer, Patinated Bronze Sculpture, ca. 1890

About the Item

Sculpture: Tsar's Falconer. Description: Excellent and detailed quality of the composition, very lifelike, finely detailed representation of a Tsar’s falconer, a main personage of every Tsar's grand hunting event. Designer; Evgeny Alexandrovich Lansere (1848 - 1886) was a famous Russian sculptor of the 19th century; Lansere came from a family who came to Russia from France; he studied with the animal sculptor Nikolai Iwanowitsch Lieberich and specialized in the representation of horses and riders. In search of appropriate motifs, he traveled through the interior of both European and Asian Russia every year, and Algeria in 1883. Artist: Evgeny Ivanovich Naps (b.? - d.?) was a self-taught sculptor, restorer, draftsman and painter. In St. Petersburg he was engaged in the restoration of porcelain, small plastics and bronze sculpture for antique dealers and collectors. He created small copies and variations of the works of Russian sculptors for the capital factories producing bronze sculpture. The bronze statuettes created by Naps were bought by representatives of different walks of life. Note: There is a version in existence that under the name of the famous Russian sculptor Naps was hiding none other than Lanceray. Many sculptors of that time had to resort to the practice of working under pseudonyms in connection with the contracts they concluded with one factory. Such an enslaving agreement forbade craftsmen to work in other factories under their own names. Lanceray Senior, the father of six children, had constant money problems, which could be the main reason for working under the name of Naps. In addition, almost nothing is known about Naps himself, and his works were executed in the same style and using the same techniques as the sculptures of Lanceray. Period: Ca. 1890’s Style: Russian Imperial. Medium: Black-patinated bronze, casting, chasing, mounting. Dimensions: H 12.25” x D 3.75” x L 7.75” Markings: On the base, author's signature:«???. ?. ?????». Condition: The quality of the casting is superb. Sculpture retains original patina and has no damages or repairs.
