About the Item
This bronze sculpture by British contemporary artist Ronald Van Ruyckevelt is a reproduction of his 1990 bronze masterpiece, “Wings of Glory.” The bronze depicts a majestic bald eagle with its wings fully spread open, soaring over a rocky landscape. With an intense stare and intricate feather detail, this sculpture is dramatic and artfully crafted. Van Ruyckevelt has dedicated a large portion of his career to depicting game birds and birds of prey. “Wings of Glory” is easily his most famous bronze artwork, having been copyrighted and reproduced several times since the original’s creation.
British artist Ronald van Ruyckevelt was born in 1928. He began his career at Wimbledon School of Art where he was awarded the National Diploma in painting. He then went on to study ceramics at The Royal College of Art, culminating in an Associateship. In August of 1953, he joined the staff of Royal Worcester, one of the oldest remaining English porcelain brands still in existence today. During his career with Royal Worcester, Van Ruyckevelt produced over 65 models. He designed some of the most technically adventurous models Worcester has ever produced, including a limited edition series of big game fish, a series of large game birds, and a number of hand-made tropical flowers. In 1972, Ronald van Ruyckevelt modeled the beautiful wedding doves to celebrate the Silver Wedding of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip. His final work for Royal Worcester was the series of six “Queens Regnant,” completed by the modeler Ken Potts. He left Royal Worcester in 1974 to work from Malvern. He later moved to the United States to run his own ceramic and sculpture company.

View AllVintage Cast-Iron Eagle Sculpture, Early 20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a cast-iron figural eagle doorstop, circa early 20th century. The eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, perched and mounted to a square marble base. The eagle retains traces of its original gilt surface and is embossed with “F.O.E.” at its midsection, possibly referring to the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The eagle motif has been widely used throughout American history, most notably as part of our Great Seal. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States...

"Come Forth A Dream" Bronze Sculpture by Veryl Goodnight, Ed. 19/25, 1987
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is an original signed bronze sculpture by American artist Veryl Goodnight. The sculpture is called "Come Forth A Dream" and depicts four running horses, galloping together with free-spirited and unbridled energy. The patinated bronze was cast in 1987 in a very limited edition of only 25. This specific bronze is signed, dated, and numbered 19/25.
Veryl Goodnight(b, 1947) is a celebrated contemporary American artist working in Southwest Colorado. Her studio ranch is situated between Durango and Mesa Verde National Park and the dramatic landscape, abundant wildlife, and fellow ranching community provide endless inspiration for her art. Her many years spent in the West, observing, painting, and sketching her surroundings, gave Goodnight a profound awareness of the mannerisms of ranchers and animals alike. This experience translates directly to her art.
Goodnight has monumental sculptures across the United States, in Europe, and Japan. The most notable is “The Day The Wall Came Down...
