About the Item
Victor Joseph Ghislain Demanet (1895-1964) "The Hammerer".
We are delighted to present a work of rare emotional and technical power: "The Hammerer" by Victor Joseph Ghislain Demanet. This bronze sculpture is a masterful celebration of human labor, signed by the artist on the terrace with the inscription "V. Demanet Bronze France."
Work Details:
• Title: The Hammerer
• Artist: Victor Joseph Ghislain Demanet (1895-1964)
• Material: Bronze with a beautiful nuanced green-brown patina
Artistic Description:
"The Hammerer" captures a muscular and focused man in full exertion, hammering with force and determination. The sculpture seizes a moment of repetitive and laborious action, highlighting every bulging muscle and taut vein, testifying to the man's physical intensity. His face, marked by concentration, reveals an expression of unwavering determination. The texture of the bronze adds a tactile dimension to the work, inviting close observation. The meticulous details, from the folds of clothing to the texture of the tools, contribute to a striking realism, transforming this ordinary scene of labor into an eloquent representation of human strength, work, and determination. The solid marble base of the statue provides visual stability, accentuating the dynamism of the pose.
Artistic Currents:
Victor Demanet, active primarily during the interwar period and the early 20th century, is renowned for his expressive and realistic bronze sculptures. His works, such as "The Hammerer," are distinguished by their ability to capture the movement and intensity of human emotions. Demanet is part of the Romantic Realism movement, where precision of detail meets palpable emotion.
Comparison with a Contemporary Sculptor:
Like Victor Demanet, the work of Jef Lambeaux (1852-1908) offers a significant comparison. Lambeaux, also a Belgian sculptor, is known for his realistic and expressive works, such as "The Sower." While Lambeaux captures the grace and determination of the farmer sowing seeds, Demanet immortalizes the power and energy of the hammerer. Both artists share an exceptional technical mastery and an ability to transform scenes of everyday life into almost mythical visions.
Artist Biography:
Born in Brussels, Victor Demanet is a Belgian sculptor whose works are deeply rooted in the expression of human labor and strength. Active during the interwar period, Demanet is recognized for his bronze sculptures, which capture with emotional precision the physical efforts and human emotions. His pieces, such as "The Hammerer," testify to his talent for bringing movement and intensity to life, making each sculpture a poignant and realistic work of art.
