Bronze sculpture “Cupid”. Inspired by models by Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau

About the Item

Bronze sculpture “Cupid”. Inspired by models by Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau (1834-1917). Marble base Lost wax casting. The figure of the child is identified thanks to its wings and the arch it shows. Cupid appears half-naked, with the quiver at his feet, and a stump behind him. The work is based on models created by a member of the well-known Moureau family: Mathurin exhibited for the first time at the Paris “Salon” in 1848, and it was in 1897 that he received a Medal of Honor. His work, inserted in that appreciated family style, shows a series of particularities that are still maintained in this sculpture. · Size: 28x28x66 cm

French Antique Bronze Sculpture of "Harvester" by Mathurin Moreau
By Mathurin Moreau
Located in Shippensburg, PA
"HARVESTER" AFTER A MODEL BY MATHURIN MOREAU (FRENCH, 1822-1912) In a reddish-brown and golden patinated bronze; signed in base "Math. Moreau" Item # 012SKP14W A fine model of a rural young farmer resting against a rocky outcrop to sharpen his scythe, the base of which has been set in the hay collected in a pile beside the rock; the naturalistic base is signed along the back in his typical nearly cursive script "Math. Moreau". It is a complex model and a fine accomplishment for the foundry, the joints seamlessly flowing into one another without any obvious connections. The surface is chiseled with great care, resulting in fine detailing of the toes and fingers to include the wrinkles at each joint and texturing of the nails, crisp eyelids and flawless skin, gorgeous texturing of the garment...
