Pr. French 19th C. Bronze Groups Fame & Mercury After Models by Antoine Coysevox
About the Item
A marvelous pair of bronze groups of fame and mercury after the models by Antoine Coysevox, French, first half 19th century. Each depicted on horseback, Fame is on the left hand side seen wearing a laurel leaf crown and Mercury is seen on the right wearing a helmet, each on naturalistically cast bases. The workmanship of this pair is absolutely superb with incredible casting, hand-chased elements, and a marvelous patina. Each piece is atop a lucite plinth.
Antoine Coysevox's colossal marble equestrian groups of Fame and Mercury were executed between 1701 and 1702 during the reign of Louis XIV and were originally commissioned to adorn the ornamental horse pond at Marly. In 1719, however, they were replaced with Guillaume Coustou's horses and subsequently moved to the entrance of the Tulieries gardens in Paris.

- French 19th C Gilt and Patinated Bronze Group of Gloria Victis, by A. MercieBy Antonin Mercie, F. Barbedienne FoundryLocated in New York, NYAn Incredible and Large Gilt and Patinated Bronze Group of Gloria Victis, a Winged Figure of Victory with a Fallen Warrior. This incredible bronze piece was cast after a model by Maarius-Jean-Antonin Mercié, This model is signed 'F. BARBEDIENNE FONDEUR PARIS' demonstrating that it was cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne's foundry, the best bronzier of the 19th century. The base is further signed 'A. Mercie' and stamped 'Réduction Mécanique' with an inscription of '659'. The figure is mounted on a Belgian noir marble base with various stepped edges. Gloria Victis is one the most well-known and important bronze casts of the 19th Century. The quality of this particular model is absolutely incredible and all the marking indicate that this particular piece is one of the finest produced by the Foundry. A student of Jouffroy and de Falguière at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Marius-Jean-Antonin Mercié (1845-1916) won the Grand Prix de Rome at 23 years old with his work Thésée vainqueur du Minotaure. In 1872, he sent the plaster model of his work David vainqueur to the Salon, for which he won the first class medal. At the same time, he received La croix de la Légion d'honneur at the Villa Medici. His return to Paris, in 1874, issued in a long and brilliant career with numerous commissions, notably the monuments for Louis-Philippe and Queen Marie-Amélie for the Royal Chapel at Dreux (1886). By the age of 30 Mercié was already very well-known and his Gloria Victis received resounding success when it was exhibited at the Salon, in 1874 (in plaster) and in 1875 (in bronze). This work exalted the heroism and the patriotic sentiments aroused by the disasters of 1870. His predilection for patriotic subjects is shown in many of his works such as Quand même...Category
