Bronze Sculpture, "Diana's Nymph" After Lucie Signoret-Ledieu

About the Item

Beautiful statue in patinated bronze representing Diana, godess of the hunt, also called Nymph of Diana, after the work of Lucie Signoret-Ledieu. It represents the goddess seated on a trunk holding her bow in one hand and with the other a trumpet-shaped flower that she is waving at a marine monster at her feet. Her quiver is placed against the tree trunk. This print is signed "Mme Signoret Ledieu" on the base. It bears a founder's stamp AB. The sculpture is placed on a rotating bronze base with a sign giving the title of the work, the name of the artist and the mention "récompensé au salon" (awarded at the salon). Lucie SIGNORET-LEDIEU (1858-1904) was a French artist and student of Jean Gautherin. She exhibited her plaster figures at the Salon from 1878 onwards. She was particularly fond of graceful compositions and her Diana the Huntress was a great success under the name of Nymph of Diana at the Salon des artistes français in 1889 and won a prize.

Bronze Sculpture, "Child pinched by a crayfish", after Jean-Baptiste Pigalle
By Jean-Baptiste Pigalle
Located in Paris, FR
Bronze sculpture with a brown patina shaded in green signed Pigalle on the base, representing a child surprised by a crayfish's pinching. Tears are running down the cheeks of the naked child, sitting on a large shell, as he has just been pinched by a crayfish. The sculpture rests on a green marble base. Jean-Baptiste Pigalle is a great French sculptor born in Paris in 1714. At a very young age, he studied sculpture and became aware that his art was the meaning of his life. He moved to Italy in 1734 to perfect his technique. Then, he joined the Beaux-Arts, thanks to his work "Mercury attaching his heel" (1740) which had an immediate success. Several artists have a copy, painters represent it on their canvases, and a biscuit reduction is made by the manufacture of Sevres in 1770. Very quickly the orders multiplied and Mme de Pompadour took him under her wing. Juggling between baroque and classical styles, he made portraits of Diderot and Voltaire and then realized the famous funeral monuments...
