"Homage to Poussin", Art Deco Take on the Baroque, Nudes in Arcadia

About the Item

A rare and gorgeous bronze panel, this bas relief sculpture was created by Pierre Bouret in honor of Nicolas Poussin. It's multiple male and female nudes in a bucolic setting are clearly inspired by some of Poussin's Arcadian paintings, such as The Nurture of Bacchus and The Grande Bacchanale, though the nudes are treated in a modern, more stylized manner. Bouret was a good friend of Charles Despiau and other major artists, and participated in the "Hundred Years of French Sculpture (1833-1939)" exhibition in Brussels, in 1940. This panel is the first casting in an edition of five.
