French 19th Century Bronze Sculpture of Hippolytus After Philippe Poitevin 1831

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century bronze sculpture by Philippe Poitevin (1831–1907) masterfully depicts Hippolytus, the tragic Greek mythological son of Theseus. The composition captures the dramatic moment of his downfall, as Poseidon’s sea monster startles his horse, leading to his untimely demise. Expertly cast with exceptional detail and movement, this sculpture showcases Poitevin’s superb craftsmanship, evident in the powerful musculature of Hippolytus, the wild energy of the rearing horse, and the dynamic tension of the scene. The surface patina enhances the depth and dimension of the bronze, bringing the mythological narrative to life. The piece bears the artist’s signature, impressed on the base, affirming its authenticity. Measuring 20.5 inches in height, 20.25 inches in width, and 9.75 inches in depth, this sculpture is a statement piece, versatile enough to be displayed in various settings. Whether showcased in a private collection, study, or grand hall, it serves as a captivating conversation piece, embodying the drama and grandeur of Greek mythology. In excellent condition, this work stands as a testament to fine 19th-century French bronze artistry.
