"Placing the Sandal, " Bas Relief Masterpiece with Nudes by Levillain

About the Item

This very fine carved relief panel was sculpted by Ferdinand Levillain, France's master of bas relief at the turn of the last century. Levillain was famous for his low reliefs in medallic work and finely-detailed bronze objects (most cast by the famed Barbidienne foundry), and was greatly admired in his day for giving a modern interpretation to Greek and Roman subjects. This unique piece, sculpted from a fine piece of walnut, depicts three nude male figures in a classical scene, one a figure in his prime resting in a chair and being served by a younger man, who are being watched by a bearded older man. All three figures depict the human figure in its ideal form, again an illustration of Levillain's devotion to Greek and Roman prototypes.

"Algernon Sullivan Plaque, " Rare Bas Relief with Nude Figures by Jules Roine

By Jules-Edouard Roiné 1

Located in Philadelphia, PA

This rare and important relief sculpture honors Algernon Sydney Sullivan, one of the most admired and respected attorneys and civic leaders active in New York in the late 19th century. Born a Hoosier, he moved to New York by 1860, and though an ardent abolitionist, felt honor-bound to step forward to defend the sailors of the Confederate ship Savannah, captured by the Union early in the Civil War. He served in the public sector for a decade and fought the Tweed gang. Later, Sullivan created two of the more important and influential law firms in New York in his era -- one of them, Sullivan and Cromwell, continues today -- but he always remained supportive of the poor who could not afford to retain an attorney for legal assistance. In his honor, the Sullivan Fountain was erected in Van Cortlandt...
