A Patinated Bronze Sculpture of Two Striding Lions, Signed By the Artist

About the Item

A Patinated Bronze Sculpture of Two Striding Lions, Signed By the Artist Witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of this extraordinary antique bronze masterpiece, painstakingly hand-carved and adorned with the artist's signature. Prepare to be captivated by the sheer magnificence of this sculpture, which portrays two regal lions with such breathtaking realism and graceful movement that it leaves one spellbound. The lion, with his majestic mane flowing wildly, emanates an air of authority in the way his body reveals the intricate beauty of its muscular structure, its bones, and sinews, all subtly veiled by a furry exterior. With head held high in a regal pose, he exudes a sense of pride and nobility that is truly mesmerizing. Striding slightly behind this magnificent lion stands the lioness, her arched neck gracefully craning to peer curiously towards the observer, casting an enchanting spell upon all who gaze upon her. The positioning of their tails, directed towards each other, symbolizes a deep love and unwavering companionship. Both lions, captured mid-stride, possess an astonishing lifelike quality, their determined facial expressions conveying a captivating sense of purpose. Resting upon a rectangular bronze base, meticulously crafted to emulate nature's own design, this sculpture emanates an organic allure that is simply irresistible. Standing tall at an impressive height of 18.5 inches and measuring a remarkable 40 inches in length, this grand and resplendent work of art, painstakingly sculpted by hand, evokes a profound sense of timelessness and wonder.

French 19th C Gilt and Patinated Bronze Group of Gloria Victis, by A. Mercie
By F. Barbedienne Foundry, Antonin Mercie
Located in New York, NY
An Incredible and Large Gilt and Patinated Bronze Group of Gloria Victis, a Winged Figure of Victory with a Fallen Warrior. This incredible bronze piece was cast after a model by Maarius-Jean-Antonin Mercié, This model is signed 'F. BARBEDIENNE FONDEUR PARIS' demonstrating that it was cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne's foundry, the best bronzier of the 19th century. The base is further signed 'A. Mercie' and stamped 'Réduction Mécanique' with an inscription of '659'. The figure is mounted on a Belgian noir marble base with various stepped edges. Gloria Victis is one the most well-known and important bronze casts of the 19th Century. The quality of this particular model is absolutely incredible and all the marking indicate that this particular piece is one of the finest produced by the Foundry. A student of Jouffroy and de Falguière at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Marius-Jean-Antonin Mercié (1845-1916) won the Grand Prix de Rome at 23 years old with his work Thésée vainqueur du Minotaure. In 1872, he sent the plaster model of his work David vainqueur to the Salon, for which he won the first class medal. At the same time, he received La croix de la Légion d'honneur at the Villa Medici. His return to Paris, in 1874, issued in a long and brilliant career with numerous commissions, notably the monuments for Louis-Philippe and Queen Marie-Amélie for the Royal Chapel at Dreux (1886). By the age of 30 Mercié was already very well-known and his Gloria Victis received resounding success when it was exhibited at the Salon, in 1874 (in plaster) and in 1875 (in bronze). This work exalted the heroism and the patriotic sentiments aroused by the disasters of 1870. His predilection for patriotic subjects is shown in many of his works such as Quand même...
