About the Item

Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879): STRUGGLE Technique: bronze, granite base Dimensions: 15 x 22 x 11 cm Signed: Pierre-Jules Mene Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) was a prominent French sculptor known for his work in animal sculpture during the 19th century. He specialized in creating detailed bronze sculptures that captured the naturalism and dynamism of animals. Mêne excelled in depicting horses, dogs, and other domestic animals, with his works reflecting the true movement and character of these creatures. Mêne frequently exhibited his sculptures at the Paris Salon, quickly gaining a reputation for his artistry. His works were not only aesthetically pleasing but also demonstrated the technical expertise and artistic sensitivity of the period. He often cast his sculptures in bronze in his own workshop, allowing him to oversee every step of the production process. Today, Mêne's sculptures are highly valued and can be found in numerous museums and private collections. His art significantly influenced the development of animal sculpture, and his works continue to inspire sculptors.
