About the Item
Bronze sculpture with a brown patina representing "Cupid," after Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.
Cupid is depicted as a young child wearing his traditional attributes: arrows in a quiver at his belt and wings on his back. He rests on a bed of flowers.
This bronze is signed "Pigalle" on the base and dated "18 May 1893."
Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714-1785) was a great French sculptor. He studied sculpture at a young age under the guidance of Robert Le Lorrain and then Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, then went to Italy in 1734 to perfect his technique. Upon his return, he entered the Beaux-Arts school thanks to his work "Mercure Attachant Sa Talonnière" (1740), which was an immediate success. Pigalle's reputation grew among the Parisian aristocracy. Madame de Pompadour took him under her wing, as commissions poured in. Juggling between Baroque and Classical, he painted portraits of Diderot and Voltaire, and then created the famous funerary monuments for Marshal de Saxe (Strasbourg, 1776).
"Cupid" is a harmonious bronze. A poetic work that charms with its detailed execution and universal symbolism.
