Antique Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture of "La Danse" by Eugene Delaplanche
About the Item
EUGÉNE DELAPLANCHE
French, 1836-1891
"La Danse"
Medium-brown patinated bronze signed in cast DELAPLANCHE incised "F. Barbedienne Fondeur Paris" & numbered 225 sealed with A. Collas reduction cachet
Item # 212LKS08A
This is a very fine casting of La Danse after the original model by Eugene Delaplanche and executed by the Ferdinand Barbedienne foundry in Paris circa 1890-1910. It is titled in Kjellberg's monumental work as Zéphyr and is noted as Fée Aux Fleurs (The Flower Fairy) in Berman's volumes. The sculpture depicts a young nymph as she gracefully spins on a smooth dirt path while her diaphonous dress spins around her body while the the wind catches the bottom and carries it wildly into the breeze.
La Danse was initially exhibited at the Salon of 1886 as no. 3768 in plaster and the following year he exhibited the same model executed as Salon catalogue entry no. 4000, a life-size marble. His final exhibition of the model was it at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1889.
The sculpture was cast by Barbedienne in several editions, including 40 cm, 61.5 cm, 97 cm and 115 cm. The present example shows the careful attention of the ciseleur and shows beautiful chasing of the details. An attractive overall medium-golden-brown patina leaves the surface rich and full of life, being overall translucent and glowing throughout. Every detail is vivid, from the flowers and foliage held gently in her fingers, to the wrinkles of these fingers, her perfectly detailed face with a sharp little nose, eyes that are full of laughter and joy and a firm jaw. The naturalistic base is inscribed both "Delaplanche" and "F. Barbedienne Fondeur, Paris" and is numbered 225.
EUGÉNE DELAPLANCHE
Born in Belleville, France in February of 1836, Eugéne Delaplanche was a student of August Deligand and Francisque Joseph Duret and studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He exhibited for the first time in 1861 at Salon and in 1864 he was awarded the prestiguous Prix de Rome for sculpture, moving the same year to Rome where he produced a number of exceptional models of female figures in marble during his stay there through 1867. These works were sent from Rome to Paris, where they received important critical attention and established his reputation as a sculptor. He was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honeur in 1876 and continued to regularly exhibit at the Salon. He won a medal again in 1878 and a first-class medal at the World Fair in the same year. Much of his work was cast by Thiébault Freres and the house of Ferdinand Barbedienne. His works are held in museum collections around the world including the Louvre, Marseille and Saint-Denis.

- “Putto on Doe” Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture by Charles KorschannBy Charles KorschannLocated in Shippensburg, PACHARLES KORSCHANN Czech, 1872-1943 Putto Riding a Doe Medium-brown patinated bronze over an original marble base Signed "CH. KORRSCHANN." and sealed with foundry cachet for Louchet Item # 301LCJ14L A very fine lifetime casting of Charles Korschann's Putto Riding a Doe, the model is steeped in the elements of the Art Nouveau with a distinct celebration of the naturalistic. The putto grasps a simple harp in his hand while a loose garment bound in a belt encircling his waist billows in the unseen wind. The doe looks on with disinterest, unconcerned about its surroundings and almost at one with its rider. It is a carefully composed idealization of the natural world and the potential for harmony between man and beast. The casting is exquisite, typical of work from Louchet, and is finished in a medium-brown translucent patina. Charles Korschann Born in Brno, Monrovia in 1872 as Charles Korschmann, later dropping the "m" to appear less Germanic, he studied at the fine arts academies of Vienna, Berlin and Paris before finally establishing himself in Paris in 1894. He spent his entire career working in Paris, exhibiting at the 1900 Exposition Universelle where he was awarded a Bronze Medal and from 1894 through 1905 at the Société des Artistes Français. His work is very distinctive and immediately recognizable, a most important trait as an artist and a particular accomplishment in light of the output of his contemporaries. He was to sculpture what Alphonse Mucha was to graphics, both men originating from the same province in Czechoslovakia and having similar influences in Paris. It is rather fitting that he would execute a bust of Alphonse Mucha for the Museum of Brno in honor of his accomplishments. Artist Listings...Category
