Boy with Roosters Paul CHEVRE
sia antion, riga, latvia
Authors bronze statue Boy with Roosters Paul CHEVRE. H - 75 cm. Represents the work of the famous Franco-Canadian master of the second half of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century. It depicts a Boy taking apart fighting cocks. This gambling and fighting event was conveyed in an anti-censoring manner; a naked young man and in the pathos of gestures represent it. A slightly deviated figure of a young man gives way to angry roosters and their line of aggression crosses the line of the boy and loincloth. Their expressive nature creates energy and strength and also sets off the noble patina of the young man’s smooth body. Width: 52cm, Height: 75cm, Depth: 45cm, Weight: 30kg, Condition: Excellent, Material: Patinated bronze, ID: 59

Abduction of the Sabines after the model of Giovanni da Bologna
sia antion, riga, latvia
The sculptural group “The Abduction of the Sabines”, made using the technique of copper electroplating according to the model of the Florentine master Giovanni da Bologna, a representative of the early Baroque. The work illustrates a well-known plot of Roman history when robbers and pirates, associates of Romulus, invited the neighboring Sabine tribe to visit in order to get women, at a signal from Romulus, the Romans rushed to grab the maidens, pushing away their fathers and husbands. Thus ensuring the future of the eternal city. The work is being built by a spiral screw; from the defeated and begging for mercy, to the solemn possession of the prey at the top. The expression of the struggle is ensured by the multidirectionality of the hands. Passion and valuing what is possessed is the leitmotif of the protagonist.The Florentine master Giovani da Bologna, nicknamed Giambologna, is considered one of the best masters of late mannerism. The sculptural group he created combines the classical nude forms characteristic of Greek sculpture and the dynamism of mannerism. In 1563, Giambologna became a member of the prestigious Academy of Arts in Florence. He creates his first masterpiece for the city of Bologna: after receiving payment for the bronze sculpture of Neptune, the master creates it for the fountain of the same name. The design of the sculpture of the Sabine Women began in 1579. Initially, the artist planned to create only two figures, as can be seen from the preparatory bronze blanks (Capodimonte Museum, Naples), but then he added a third figure, as evidenced by wax models (Victoria and Albert Museum, London). A full-scale plaster model of the sculpture can be seen in the Galleria dellAccademia in Florence. The statue illustrates the legend of the beginning of the “Sabine War”. Almost the entire population of Rome consisted of men, and local tribes did not allow their women to marry Romans due to their poverty. Romulus organizes a celebration in the city, inviting many guests, including his neighbors, and at a certain point in the celebration, a violent abduction of women occurs, subsequently captured in stone by the great master Giambologna.

Important Marble Group After The Antique The Wrestlers

The modeling of the work, deliberately excessive, helps to convey the virulence of the struggle. Note, part of a finger missing and restored by our workshop. Very high quality of execution. The ancient marble group from which this bronze is inspired was discovered in 1583 near Porta San Giovanni in Rome. In June of the same year, the group was purchased by Cardinal Ferdinand de Medici, future Grand Duke of Tuscany, and is kept in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
