About the Item

19th century French Belle Epoque Statue by Victor Rousseau (1865-1954) displays the artist's talents in emulating the style that glorified rural life during the waning years of the 19th century. Cast in spelter and given a patinaed multi-hued bronze finish, it is set upon a turned wood base faux-painted to look like rouge marble. The sculpture depicts a young maiden on a breezy day taking care of the laundry, distracted by an interesting sight. Note the details in the garments and the charming expression on her face which are hallmarks of the style. Born in the Ardennes region, Rousseau studied at the Academie Des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He is best known for his busts, statues and public monuments and occasional sculpted portraits. Rousseau descended from a family of stonemasons, and began carving at only 11 years of age. His studies included apprenticeship under sculptor Georges Houtstont (1832-1912), and indeed Rousseau became a professor of sculpture, then later director during two separate terms at The Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts from 1901 to 1935. Circa 1895 Measures 16 Height x 6.5 in diameter.

Pair 19th Century French Bronze Statues by Auguste Moreau '1855-1919'

Located in Dallas, TX

Pair 19th Century French bronze statues by Louis Auguste Moreau (1855-1919) are exemplary examples of the glorification of the simple rural life celebrated by artists in France during the Belle Epoque. A distinctive departure from rendering affluent families and lifestyles as dictated by the many patrons of art over the centuries, this informal movement gave a glimpse into the lives of everyday people. In this example, we have two young maidens, one carrying a bundle over her shoulder and a basket in her left hand, while the other totes a basket over her shoulder and a couple of protesting chickens in her right hand! Each maiden is modestly dressed...
