About the Item

MARCEL DÉBUT (France, 1865 - 1933). "Nymphe dansante", c. 1900. BRONZE Signé. Dimensions : 108 x 43 x 30 cm. Une nymphe ou une fée de la nature est le protagoniste de cette sculpture. La femme, aux formes délicates et élancées, se tient au centre du piédestal. Les formes délicates, flottantes et ondulantes de la sculpture nous permettent de la rattacher au mouvement Modernisme ou Art Nouveau, qui avait dans la nature et la mythologie populaire, peuplée de fées, d'elfes et de nymphes, deux de ses principales sources d'inspiration. Marcel Début fut l'un des plus éminents sculpteurs de bronze de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle, l'apogée de cette discipline. Fils du sculpteur Didier Début, Marcel se forme auprès d'Henri Chapu à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, obtenant le Grand Prix pour voyager à Rome. Il fréquente les Salons parisiens de 1883 jusqu'au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. Il a travaillé principalement sur la figure humaine, souvent avec une approche réaliste, bien qu'il ait également produit d'excellentes sculptures animales. Marcel Début évolue entre le romantisme, le réalisme et l'impressionnisme, produisant même des œuvres relevant de l'Art Nouveau. Ses œuvres étaient particulièrement populaires pendant le romantisme, même si elles présentaient déjà des traits impressionnistes précoces.
