"Clash of the Titans, " Mythological Bronze Rondel with Male Nudes, France

About the Item

Clearly influenced by Gustav Dore's masterful painting of a crowd of Titans pushing an enormous boulder at the top of a mountain, with lightning bolts overhead, the sculptor here was clearly interested in displaying his mastery of the male form. Whether raising his fist against the heavens, straining to push a boulder up the mountain, or tumbling down in the face of a greater power, all three male nudes are beautifully captured. The panel's high relief dramatizes every limb and muscle.

  • Important "Acrobat" Counter-Relief of Male Nude by Richmond Barthé
    By Richmond Barthé
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    This highly important and unique intaglio or counter-relief panel by Richmond Barthé is a wall sculpture that also served as the original carved relief for castings of the "Acrobat" (one of which is available from us). This piece retains its original label, signed by Barthé, indicating its importance as the original sculpture mold. Without doubt America's finest Black sculptor working in the 1930s-1950s, Richmond Barthé created an extraordinarily important body of work, with a clear, abiding focus on portraits and the male figure. Although he was a part of the Harlem Renaissance and had many important friends and clients, including Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison...
