Vintage Wild West Cowboy After Remington Bronze 20th Century
About the Item
This is a very impressive bronze, after Remington, of a cowboy on horseback dating from the last quarter of the 20th century.
It was made using the 'lost wax' process, otherwise known as 'cire perdue', and is in the style of Frederic Remington's famous 'Bronco Buster' work.
Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861 - 1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old American West, specifically concentrating on the last quarter of the 18th century American West and images of cowboys, American Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry.
Remington produced the approximate 22 inch size 'Bronco Buster' bronze sculpture statue in 1895 using the sand casting technique of the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company. Then in early 1900's Remington moved to the Roman Bronzes Works and produced the piece using the lost wax process. He later produced a larger version in 1909 which measures 32 inches in height. The 'Bronco Buster' is the most popular of the Remington's statues and originals sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

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.

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. Demetre H. Chiparus was born in Romania in 1886, attended school in Italy, then, shortly before World War I moved to Paris. He attended school at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under two talented sculptors Anonin Mercier and Jean Boucher, who provided him the opportunity to learn the trade. He later began to experiment with small bronze sculptures and produce small bronze works, exhibiting his small sculptures and, in 1914, was awarded an honorable mention at the Salon of the Societe des Artistes Francais. Many of Paris’ most affluent began to take notice of his work after World War One and the demand for his sculptures quickly increased.
