Our Sphinx is Persephone, and she started as an old kingdom Egyptian relic. I then turned her musculature into mechanical appendages like she was an icon or idol off the set of the 1927 film, “Metropolis”. She was going to be an AI sphinx but I still wanted to incorporate Rhubarb within her adornment as she is a Nordic or Maritime sphinx. Big leafed rhubarb didn’t resonate with the mechanized look I had just executed beautifully. At the very least she is a North American sphinx with feather and wheat motifs. I included for symbolism and beauty (of course), ancient Egyptian and Greek floral references befitting a worldly creature. I took liberties and referenced eighteenth and nineteinth "Orientalism". The Sphinx is a mythological creature and not anything that moved across terrains anywhere that most of us have been. The AI sphinx was too fascist and severe for most gardens. I liked it deeply and may revisit that avenue once this sphinx’s’ plaster dust has settled. I love the Baroque, so I decided to go Baroque by giving the lions coat some seriously carved fur and curly cues. She looked like any one of the seventeenth century Louis’ characters crossed with a French poodle. That was a bad notion. I then created a sphinx that I like, a sphinx from my soul but seriously influenced by other artists. In the end she is uniquely elegant and powerfully poised, with distinct features. Compared to most sphinx throughout history her breasts are too high on her chest but seductive none the less (she is a contemporary sphinx). Her head is elongated, much like the busts of the Armana period in Egypt, but that’s just her hair and headdress, not her skull. Her rump and back are sensual. The Rhubarb Sphinx, embodies a history of sphinxes created by Europeans after the Napoleonic invasion and the extensive survey of Egypt which ignited a design frenzy of all things ancient Egypt. She is an esoteric garden folly...

A rare and fabulous French Art Deco large bronze signed sculpture of a bunting panther by Andre Vincent Becquerel, French, 1893-1981 This lovely cast, in a warm dark brown patina with green undertones is sculpted with highly stylized anatomical details. The sculpture rests on self base. Becquerel's favorite subject matter was cats. He often captured them in a natural setting, stretching, stalking, clawing at a tree stump or walking in tandem. The model offered here with the panther bunting/rubbing against a stump of a tree is a rare version. This innate feline behavior is seen as a sign of affection, or of a transfer of their scent to claim territory or marking you as a friend. Becquerel was born in northern France. He attended the École des Beaux-arts in Paris and studied in the ateliers of Hector Lemaître and Prosper Lecourtier, the Animalier sculptor. He also worked with Charles Valton, who had studied under both Barye and Fremiet, two other renown animalier sculptors. He began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1914 and continued to do so for the rest of his career. In 1944 Becquerel was awarded a bronze medal by The ‘Artistes Français’ and a gold medal in 1945. In 1952 he won the Prix de l’Yser, which made him hors concours and thus above the future competition process.

Mid-19th century over life-size carved marble statue of Michelangelo's "Bacchus". Grand Tour copy through the "Point To Point" method directly from the original keeping its masterful proportions and Fine details in an exact size to Michelangelo's work. We have never seen a 19th century copy of this Renaissance Masterpiece of this size and are quite fortunate to be responsible for its stewardship until purchase by a discerning collector The original "Bacchus" is a marble sculpture by the master, Michelangelo, created circa 1496 when the artist was 21. This statue was originally commissioned by Cardinal Raffaele Riario. However, it was rejected by him and eventually found its way to Jacopo Galli, Cardinal Riario’s banker and a friend of the sculptor, who purchased it in 1506. Some 66 years later it was bought for the Medici and transferred to the royal house in Florence, Italy. Currently it can be viewed at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence. It is one of just two sculptures surviving Michelangelo’s initial period in Rome, with the other being Pieta. The artwork: This somewhat oversized...

India, likely Deccan region, 16th-19th century, exceptionally executed figural work depicting Nandi Bull (devine steer / mythical horned cow), a significant figure in Hinduism, vehicle (mount) of diety Lord Shiva, symbol of devotion, and an important part of Hindu culture and philosophy. This rare high quality example, heavy, nearly solid, in stylized Brahman bull animal form, the naturalistic rendering with meticulous attention to authentic detail throughout, including proper facial features and comprehensive muscular structure, beaded jewelry decoration, natural looking horns, utter and teats, curved tail, and integral hoof feet.

Dimensions: (approx) 24" Tall, 29" Wide, 11" Deep Probably 70lbs Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use History: NANDI: THE DIVINE STEED AND SYMBOL OF DEVOTION Introduction In the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, few figures carry the depth of symbolism and spiritual significance as Nandi, the divine bull. As the sacred mount of Lord Shiva, Nandi occupies a revered place in Hindu culture and philosophy. In this blog post, we will delve into the multifaceted significance of Nandi, exploring the spiritual, cultural, and symbolic dimensions that make this celestial creature an indispensable part of the Hindu pantheon. The Vahana of Lord Shiva: Nandi's most prominent role is that of the vahana, or vehicle, of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. In this capacity, Nandi is not just a physical mount but a symbol of unwavering devotion and loyalty. The inseparable bond between Lord Shiva and Nandi signifies the importance of humility, obedience, and dedication on the spiritual path. Symbol of Strength and Virility: Depicted as a powerful and muscular bull, Nandi embodies strength and virility. The bull is a symbol of fertility and abundance in Hindu culture, representing the life-sustaining forces of nature. Nandi's robust form serves as a reminder of the inherent power within all living beings and the vital energy that sustains the universe. Guardian of Shiva's Abode: In many Shiva temples, one often encounters a prominent statue of Nandi positioned at the entrance. This is not merely decorative; it is symbolic of Nandi's role as the gatekeeper to Lord Shiva's abode. Devotees believe that Nandi safeguards the sanctity of the sacred space and acts as a spiritual protector, warding off negative energies. A Beacon of Spiritual Discipline: Nandi's demeanor and presence are reflective of spiritual discipline and meditation. Often depicted in a state of deep contemplation, Nandi serves as an inspiration for seekers on the spiritual path. The bull's stillness and focused gaze symbolize the importance of inner reflection and concentration as essential components of the journey toward self-realization. Cultural and Artistic Significance: Beyond its spiritual and religious connotations, Nandi holds immense cultural and artistic significance. Sculptors and artists across centuries have crafted intricate depictions of Nandi, showcasing the depth of Hindu artistic heritage. The various poses and expressions of Nandi in art not only tell stories from mythology but also contribute to the aesthetic richness of temples and cultural artifacts.

Festivals and Celebrations: Nandi is also celebrated in festivals like Maha Shivaratri, where devotees pay homage to Lord Shiva and his divine mount. During these festivities, the spiritual significance of Nandi is magnified, with rituals, prayers, and processions that honor the inseparable bond between the bull and the lord. Conclusion: In conclusion, Nandi is far more than a mythical creature or a decorative element in Hindu iconography. As the loyal steed of Lord Shiva, Nandi symbolizes profound spiritual truths, embodying qualities of devotion, strength, and discipline. Whether gracing the entrance of a temple or adorning the altar in a devotee's home, the significance of Nandi extends beyond religious boundaries, touching the hearts and minds of those who seek inspiration on their spiritual journey. The divine presence of Nandi serves as a timeless reminder of the enduring values that enrich the human experience.

A superb quality and palatial pair of French 19th century lifesize cast-iron sculptures - torcheres of Native American Indians titled "L’ Indienne" designed by Jules Salmson (French, 1823-1902) and Cast by Le Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne, each standing figure representing a Native American Indian male and a female scantily dressed in their native robes, one arm raised holding a light-torch with an opaline glass globe, both wearing earrings, seashell necklaces and arm-braces, raised on cylindrical cast-iron stand. Signed/cast on each pedestal: “VAL D’OSNE”. (Electrified). Paris, circa 1870-1880. Overall hHeight: 127 inches (322.6 cm) Pedestal height: 39 inches (99.1 cm) Indian man's width: 22 inches (55.9 cm) Indian man's depth: 26 3/4 inches (68 cm) Indian woman's width: 28 inches (71.1 cm) Indian woman's depth: 25 inches (63.5 cm) These fantastic and impressive pair of cast-iron sculptures, most likely representing Hiawatha and Minnehaha, were probably comissioned to Le Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne for export to the America's to decorate governmental buildings and parks which makes these pair a rare find and now available for a private collection. Iron sculptures were preferred over bronze for outdoor park and building decorations for their long lasting resistance to all types of weather conditions.
