French Antique Bronze Sculpture of hunting Dogs by Pierre-Jules Mêne circa 1870
About the Item
Superb bronze animal group with brown patina representing two dogs, a greyhound and a King - Charles , by Pierre - Jules Mêne .
Signature of the sculptor "P.J.MÊNE" on the naturalistic oval terrace, representing a carpet.
The Parisian sculptor quickly specialized in small subjects, much appreciated by lovers around 1850. Numerous editions of his works make him famous. Mène has thus managed to make the canid’s endearing character as evidenced by this group of dogs.
A key representative of 19th-century animal sculpture, Pierre-Jules Mène (1810-1879), who created his own foundry the same year that he first participated in the Salon in 1838, actively participated in the renewal of bronze.
This group gathers on the same terrace, the Greyhound with the fan named "PLOCK" and the Dog King Charles , published separately and which constitutes the counterpart of the Group of two doggy-style playing ball .
"Plock" is with "Diego", one of the two rare portraits of male greyhounds made by Mêne who has little represented this animal .
The King Charles , a small, long, dark-haired pet of the Dwarf Spaniel group , is a type of dog that was particularly fond of King Charles II of England, to whom it owes its name .
In the middle of the nineteenth century, he was again much sought after in English society and in France. Pierre-Jules Mêne is part of this vogue and thus offers this model .
Its realization precedes that of the Greyhound "PLOCK", second component of the Group "Greyhound and King - Charles".
