ABOUT
Louis Riché Bronze
Louis Riché (1877 – 1949) was born in Paris France on May 29th 1877. His first exhibit at the Salon in Paris was in 1896 at the age of nineteen. Riché sculpted many animal subjects but his favorite models were German Shepherd Dogs at which he is considered the Master at representing. He continued exhibiting at the Salon and, except for the interruptions of both World Wars, he continued to create his artistic subjects. He worked mostly with the Thiebault Freres foundry for the casting of his models but it is noted that some of his sculptures of lions were cast in silver by Risler et Carré.

Louis Riché
Louis Riché is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the Alsatian, with a large series of figures capturing the personality and gait of the canine. A prolific Animalier, Riché studied under sculptor Georges Gardet and started exhibiting at Salon 1896, where he continued to exhibit regularly, though pausing from exhibitions during both World Wars. While a large portion of his work was cast with Thiebaut Frères, he partnered with numerous major foundries of the era, including Colin et Cie, Jollet et Cie, Risler et Carré and Societe des Bronzes.
