19th Century French Patinated Bronze Sculpture “La Halte” Signed L. Mennessier
About the Item
This beautifully detailed bronze figure was sculpted in France, circa 1850. The figural sculpture shows a French soldier in uniform lighting a pipe with his gun by his side, a belt with bayonet and gun powder pouch. The piece called "La Halte" (the stop), is signed on the conforming base by the artist L. Mennessier. This piece is in excellent condition with rich patinated finish.
Louis Charles Justin Mennessier was born on 8 August 1815 in Metz. He attended the military school at Saint-Cyr in Brittany, and became a career soldier sculptor in his spare time. Mennessier is believed to have perished at the battlefield in Magenta in 1859.
Some of his work can be found in the Musée Condé, Chantilly.

- Patinated Bronze Sculpture by Denys-Pierre Puech, Signed 19th CenturyBy Ferdinand Barbedienne, Denys PuechLocated in New York, NYDenys-pierre Puech French, 1854-1942 La Sirene Signed ‘D.PUECH’; inscribed F. BARBEDIENNE, Fondeur Patinated Bronze circa 19th century Foundry Cast: Ferdinand Barbedienne 37 1/2 in. x 27 in. x 16 in Notes: Puech conceived the idea for ‘La Sirene’ during his stay at the Villa Medici when he fell passionately in love with the celebrated opera singer Emma Calvé, who was then performing in Rome. Peuch wrote, "it is to her that I owe the inspiration for the group." The sculpture shows a winged chimeric siren with a tail of a fish abducting a Ephebus. Puech noted the rarity of the scene of a woman abducting a man, rather than the more common depiction of a man carrying away a female victim. Peuch says, “I had the presentiment that, with the Siren's rape of the Ephebus, I could express the force of passion, which reached towards the unknown, which, itself, might be fidelity or the fall..." In Greek mythology the sirens seduced sailors with their singing only to lead them to their death in the sea. Literature: Denys Puech...Category
