By Aguste Moreau (French, 1834-1917)
Base: 10" x 7" *Please note: This is an original antique bronze, not a modern re-strike, and is so guaranteed. Auguste Moreau was born in Paris in 1834, the youngest son of sculptor and painter Jean-Baptiste Moreau. He studied with his father and also under Aimé Millet, Augustin Drumont and Jean Thomas. Each of the three Moreau brothers - Hippolyte, Marthurin and Auguste - have become renowned for the quality and the beauty of their figurative sculpture. In 1861, Auguste made his debut at the Salon where he would exhibit regularly until 1910 in both bronze and marble. His subjects were primarily young maidens sensuously clad in swirling diaphanous dress and usually decorated with flowers and birds or allegorical and genre scenes incorporating cupids and young children. His style was realistic and graceful, revealing his relation to the other members of the Moreau family. His compositions encapsulate a feeling of innocence whilst incorporating an air of mischievous game. He is Listed in "The Dictionary of Western Sculptors in Bronze" by James Mackay Gilt Bronze of Caillope,
by Henry Etienne Dumaige(1830-1888) 6.5" x 6" x 18.5" tall Born in Paris in 1830, Dumaige studied sculpture under Féuchère and Dumont.

Thieme-Becker, "Allgemeines Lexikon Der Bildenden Künstler Von Der Antike Bis Zur Gegenwart" KALLIOPE (Calliope) was the eldest of the Mousai (Muses), the goddesses of music, song and dance. She was also the goddess of eloquence, who bestowed her gift on kings and princes. In the Classical era, when the Muses were assigned specific artistic spheres, Kalliope was named Muse of epic poetry. In this guise she was portrayed holding a tablet and stylus or a scroll. In older art she holds a lyre. *Please note: This is an original antique bronze, not a modern re-strike, and is so guaranteed.
