Amour Captif Bronze Statue By Félix Sanzel, 20th Century
About the Item
This patinated bronze sculpture titled Amour Captif is a powerful reinterpretation of love's paradoxes, created by celebrated French sculptor Félix Sanzel.
Signed F. Sanzel on the base, the work bears the inscription: "Amour Vainqueur par F. Sanzel Statuaire, Médaille d’or au Salon", referencing its original marble version exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1868, where Sanzel was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal.
In this evocative piece, a youthful Cupid — or "Love" personified — is shown not as a mischievous controller of others’ hearts, but as a captive himself, bound to the bust of the god Termes.
The dynamic between the figures blurs the lines between seduction and submission, desire and restraint.
Crafted with remarkable anatomical detail, the sculpture balances neoclassical form with a deeply symbolic narrative, enhanced by its rich patina and solid red marble base.
Take into account that the colors on the items may vary depending on the type of lighting and the type of screen from which you see the images.
