About the Item

Important edition in bronze with brown patina representing "Pegasus carrying the poet towards the regions of the dream" also called "Apollo on Pegasus" after a model of Jean Alexandre Falguière. It depicts a young beardless naked man, riding bareback on Pegasus, the winged horse, flying above the globe. The turtle-shell lyre in his left hand indicates that he is a poet. The whole piece rests on a round base made of sea green Marble. The work is signed A.Falguière on the terrace and bears the founder's stamp "FUMIERE". This sculpture is part of the neo-Florentine style of 19th century classicism with references to the Renaissance, in particular to the male figures of the sculptor Donatello and classical inspiration of the subject. Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere (1831-1900) was a French sculptor, a student of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and François Jouffroy. In 1859, he won the first Grand Prix de Rome at sculpture , which allowed him to continue his studies at the Villa Medici. He was then appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and became the teacher of many artists, the most famous of whom was Antoine Bourdelle. His fame brought him many public commissions for monuments: a monument to Balzac to replace the one rejected by Rodin, a monument to Gambetta and the monument to La Fayette now in Washington. The Fumière et Gavignot foundry is an art foundry working from 1895 at 32 rue Guersant. It took over the company Thiébault & frères, one of the largest foundry workshops of bronze in the second half of the 19th century. They made many monumental works for Falguière, including "Apollo on Pegasus".

Large bronze after Pigalle, "Mercure attachant ses talonnières", 19th century

By Jean-Baptiste Pigalle

Located in Paris, FR

Brown patina bronze sculpture depicting Mercury (Hermes), god of commerce, thieves and messenger of the gods, seated on a rock tying his winged heel-piece. He is wearing a petasus, a winged hat, and his caduceus is resting on the ground. This sculpture, based on a model by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, shows a young god, naked and in motion. In a double-swivel position, he prepares to take off. The bronze, resting on a circular stepped base in griotte red marble, is signed on the terrace "Pigalle, 1745". The original of this sculpture was Pigalle's reception piece for the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture on July 30, 1744, which entered the Louvre between 1848 and 1850. Jean-Baptiste Pigalle: The sculptor of the Enlightenment A great French sculptor, Jean-Baptiste Pigalle was born in Paris in 1714. He worked on his art from an early age under the guidance of Robert Le Lorrain and later Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne. Convinced that his art was the meaning of his life, he returned to Italy in 1734 to perfect his technique. On his return, he began his "Mercure attachant sa talonnière" (1740), which enabled him to enter the Beaux-Arts. His reputation soared among the Parisian aristocracy. Mme de Pompadour took him under her wing, and commissions poured in. Juggling between the Baroque and the Classical, he painted portraits of Diderot and Voltaire, then created the famous funeral monuments...
