Vintage Bronze Sculpture of Nelson 20th Century
About the Item
A stunning bronze sculptures of one of Britain's greatest ever military heroes, dating from the late 20th Century.
On 21 October 1805, the Franco-Spanish fleet came out of port and Admiral Horatio Nelson's fleet engaged them at the Battle of Trafalgar. The battle was Britain's greatest naval victory, but Nelson was hit by a French sharpshooter and mortally wounded.
This high quality hot cast solid bronze was produced using the traditional "lost wax" process, otherwise known as the "cire perdue" method.
The attention to detail in capturing the uniform and facial expression of this great military leader is superb.

Lost Wax Method
sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.
In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
