19th Century Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse Bronze Sculpture of Seated Virgil
About the Item
French Second-Empire artist Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse is known as the most prolific sculptor of this period. His sculptures were displayed in the Tuileries, the Louvre and the Opera House of the Palais Garnier. Now you can own and display a piece of this art history in your own home or office. Carrier-Belleuse cast this late 19th century model of the seated thinker Virgil in the Greco-Roman style so popular during the Napoleon III period. It is cast in solid bronze and finished with an acid patina, creating a gentle contrast between the recessed areas and the highly burnished surface. The underside of the base is exposed with the remnants of a small piece of green felt on the edge of the center back. The front left corner of the base is signed “A. Carrier” in script. This gorgeous, classic bronze sculpture makes a lovely decorative addition to any environment.
