About the Item
Faun playing the flute. Bronze. Based on models by Antoine Coysevòx. Achille Collas's hallmark, mechanical reduction, Barbedienne foundry. France, possibly around the third third of the 19th century.
With signatures, date and seal.
Bronze sculpture depicting a male figure (a faun) playing a transverse flute, seated semi-nude on a tree trunk, with a pan flute at one side of his leg. A stamp (Reduction mecanique A. collas…) and several engraved elements (F. Barbedienne, fondeur, A. Coyzevox, 1709) can be seen in the lower part of the work. It is inspired by a marble sculpture made by Antoine Coysevox around 1700, currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris (inventory MR 1820; "Faune jouant de la flûte", 1707 1709). Along with others, it was commissioned for the Parc de Marly in 1707, fully paid for in 1711, and placed on the terrace of the Tuileries Palace between 1716 and 1717. In 1839, the Parisian bronzesmith Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892) founded a partnership with the engineer Achille Collas (1795 1859). He had invented a mathematical reduction process for sculpture, which enabled productions to be produced on an unprecedented scale and with unprecedented quality, following the models of various masters and early works. Collas's death in 1859 made him the sole owner of the foundry. The excellence of his production earned him the appointment as president of the Bronze Industries Committee in 1865. Upon his death in 1892, his heir, Gustave Leblanc Barbedienne (1849-1945), took over the foundry, which later became the "Leblanc-Barbedienne" firm, specializing in monumental sculptures and operating until the mid-20th century. Leblanc-Barbedienne has the honor of collaborating with Auguste Rodin.
