About the Item

Jef Lambeaux (1852-1908) “THE SOWER” Artistic Description: "The Sower" depicts a vigorous young man, bare-chested, in the act of sowing seeds. The sculpture captures with precision the dynamic movement and physical exertion of the sower, with every muscle and line of his body rendered with remarkable fidelity. The face, marked by intense concentration, and the forward-leaning posture, lend this work a unique emotional depth. Key Strengths: • Realistic Anatomy: Exquisite anatomical details, showcasing Lambeaux’s mastery in rendering human forms. • Movement and Dynamism: The sower's posture, captured in mid-movement, offers a sense of life and energy. • Expression and Concentration: The sower’s intense and focused face adds emotional depth to the work. Artistic Currents: Jef Lambeaux is a prominent representative of Realism and Naturalism, with touches of Symbolism. His works are known for their meticulous precision and their ability to express human emotions. Provenance: This sculpture is accompanied by a commemorative plaque dedicated to Mr. Alphonse Liber, managing director, in honor of his retirement in 1912. This provenance adds a historical and contextual dimension, enhancing the work’s heritage value. Comparison: Comparable to Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker," "The Sower" shares an attention to anatomical detail and an ability to express complex emotions. However, where "The Thinker" embodies contemplation, "The Sower" captures action and energy. Why Buy "The Sower": • Authenticity: Jef Lambeaux’s signature and distinctive markings are verified and authentic. • Condition: Excellent state of preservation with a natural patina. • Rarity: A rare and significant work, seldom available on the market. • Historical and Artistic Value: A valuable acquisition for any serious collector. "The Sower" by Jef Lambeaux, with its original patina and documented provenance, is a rare collectible. This sculpture is not only a masterful illustration of Belgian Realism but also a touching tribute to human effort and the connection between man and the earth. An ideal acquisition for art and history enthusiasts.
