Patinated bronze sculpture "Le Torrent" by Jean-Baptiste Germain

About the Item

Patinated Bronze Sculpture "Le Torrent" by Jean-Baptiste Germain Patinated bronze sculpture titled "Le Torrent" by French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Germain (1841-1910). The piece depicts a nude male figure, standing on a rocky base, holding a vessel from which water or air appears to flow, representing the myth of Odysseus. The figure displays detailed anatomy, with defined muscles and a dynamic pose. The patina of the bronze gives it a dark brown tone with lighter shades in the areas of greater relief. The rocky base adds texture and realism to the composition. The sculpture features the artist's signature on the base. "Le Torrent" is a representative example of the French academic style of the late 19th century, with its focus on the realistic representation of the human figure and mythology.
