About the Item
Sculpted by Walker Hancock, who spent many summers in the Gloucester area north of Boston, surrounded by fishermen, fishing boats and other evidence of the industry, this rare bas relief rondel depicts a nude male angel with a fish in one arm and a fishing net in the other. Rich with allegory, the figure is clearly a sign of abundance and prosperity in the industry, and illustrates Hancock's love of the male figure, most famously embodied in his Pennsylvania Railroad memorial in the main waiting room of 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.

View All"Hauling the Net, " Rare Art Deco Bronze with Nude Male Fisherman
By Alexandre Ouline
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This powerful bronze -- depicting a nude fisherman hauling in his net -- is a superb example of Art Deco sculpture influenced by Auguste Rodin's emphasis on the emotion and physicality of the human figure. Here, the strength and muscularity of the male figure is shown to great effect, its power belying the sculpture's diminutive size. It was sculpted by Alexandre Ouline, who executed a series of bronzes that depicted male figures performing feats of strength and courage, such as pulling a great weight or steering a ship in a stormy sea. Ouline won First Prize in the Seine et Marne agricultural fair...
