About the Item
Rare and striking, this bold, bronze allegorical sculpture is entitled "Glory" or "Gloire," and is a smaller version of a grand public sculpture -- the Monument des Fusiliers Marins Francais -- that was sculpted by Jules Bernaert in 1934 to pay tribute to the French riflemen in World War I who defended the Melle region. This figure is part of a larger stone and bronze monument located in Melle, northeast of Brussels near Ghent. The piece has a beautiful verdigris finish, and the Art Deco, stylized form of the female figure and her drapery catches the light beautifully. The sculpture is mounted on a square of marble in a lovely golden color.

"Allegory of Speed, " Art Deco Bronze Depicting the Ecstasy of Athletic Effort
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Large, rare and dramatic, this Art Deco bronze by Robert Delandre, circa 1930, depicts three nude male athletes all straining to reach the finish line of the race, their arms straining forward to win, and upward in ecstatic joy. The concentration and focus evident in their faces, and the beauty of their physiques, is beautifully captured by the artist, and the bronze is gorgeously finished in a green-brown patina that brings out the details of each figure. Delandre is largely known for his tabletop bronzes for the home or office, but he also entered competitions for public monuments and memorials. His most famous work is the "Monument to the Latham 47 Heroes" in Caudebec en Caux, France. The sculpture honors the men who disappeared in the prototype of the Latham 47 twin engine airplane in 1928, with Roald...
