About the Item
ISIDORE JULES BONHEUR
French, 1827-1901
"Standing Ram"
Patinated bronze sand-cast ca. 1870 signed to base "I. BONHEUR" no foundry mark but almost certainly cast by Peyrol underside noted 328 in ink
Item # 412GWR05A
The models of Rams by Isidore Bonheur are some of the most cherished models he completed. The present example, like the majority of Bonheur’s work, was almost without doubt cast by the foundry operated by his brother-in-law Hippolyte Peyrol - it is not cold-stamped by the foundry but is constructed in their distinct method.
The detail is above reproach, as is always the case with his work during this period. The ram’s face is scientifically exact, a flawless representation of reality expressed in the legs, hooves and proportions; the thick and unruly wool is sculpted in a complex and highly effective manner. A gorgeous and complex patina of light brown with a darker brown in the recesses highlights the texture throughout the model.

French, Antique Bronze Sculpture of Aberdeen Angus Bull by Isidore Bonheur
By Isidore Jules Bonheur
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ISIDORE JULES BONHEUR
French, 1827-1901
Taureau Aberdeen-Angus" (Standing Aberdeen-Angus Bull)
Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed to base "I. BONHEUR"
Item # 211HDB17Z
An exquisite and very rare casting of an Aberdeen-Angus bull, an unusual and distinctive breed of cattle from Scotland, this sculpture by Isidore Jules Bonheur is almost without a doubt cast by the foundry of his brother-in-law Hippolyte Peyrol and a rather early model as well in light of the distinctive construction method. In her text on the selection of 46 animal bronzes in the collection of the Georgia Museum of Art, Eleanor Luciano notes regarding this model that "Bonheur is never recorded to have been to Scotland, where he would have seen this unusual breed. Rosa Bonheur painted in Scotland, and its seems likely that Isidore would have drawn the idea for this bull either from one of her sketches or from an agricultural show in France. The animal's rich mane and strong modeling make this one of the most successful." Notable is the very fine surface patination which exhibits a glassy finish with a complex range of colors presenting in the body of the bull, overall being medium brown but augmented with an underlying reddish hue against auburn highlights. The base is signed "I. BONHEUR" in the typical manner.
