About the Item

OKIMONO OF A WILD BOAR Japan, Meiji Period Patinated bronze over carved hardwood base Signed "Gyokko" to underside of boar Item # 301COR20S This remarkable sculpture was designed and executed in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and depicts a Wild Boar. It is elegantly presented on a finely carved and lacquered hardwood base. The sculpture itself is meticulously cast and brought to life with expertly chiseled and chased details, the surface detailed with a delightful stippled texturing throughout. The underside bears a raised relief signature by the highly esteemed sculptor Akasofu Gyokko. Notably, Gyokko is renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship and is recognized for his extensive repertoire of impressive animals, particularly birds, as well as his numerous Samurai figures. His works consistently exhibit expert chiseling and are of extraordinarily good quality.

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. Museum Collections: * National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, acc. no. 2006.128.3 * Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia...
