Glazed Terracotta Signed G Doric Cheval De Marly Period 20th Century Modern Art

About the Item

Glazed and enamelled terracotta sculpture in bluish gray white color. It is a very beautiful revisit representing one of the Horses of Marly retained by his groom. Originally, this Carrara marble sculpture, made between 1740 and 1745, adorned the drinking troughs of the Château de Marly. Now on display at the Louvre Museum, this work depicts a prancing and fiery horse struggling with its groom, its body tense with effort. The stallion, disheveled mane and dilated nostrils, struggles to escape the grip of the man. He struggles to control the animal by holding it by its reins. The equine struggles furiously in an impetuous fight. The sculptor renders this confrontation with vitalism and we will particularly note the strength of the expression of the movements. Period: 20th century – Modern Art Dimensions: height: 33cm x width: 25.5cm Signed: G doric on the terrace Modern sculpture is the art of working a material in order to shape an artistic work. It is a revolutionary sculpture that has cut short previous traditions to anchor itself in the present. Chronologically, modern sculpture took its place in the art world towards the end of the 19th century with the work of Auguste Rodin inspired by the work of Michelangelo. We can define modern sculpture as conceptual art which consists in giving life to sculpture where the imagination becomes form. Modern art sculptors are artists in their own right. Their works are increasingly autonomous, authentic and non-conformist. The development of technology has allowed craftsmen-sculptors to innovate their activities, they are no longer limited either in the materials or in the techniques they use. Marked with realism and Strength, this Work signed G Doric, attracts us by its singularity and its noble allure.
