Maurice Boval (French, 1863–1916)
Art Noveau Bronze of a Young Beauty Signed, 14.25" high, 11" wide, 7"deep Maurice Bouval was a French sculptor of the Art Nouveau period who was born in Toulouse, France in 1863. From 1880 to the first World War, he created a large number of bronze statues or objects including chandeliers, candelabras or table lamps. His main works are Ophelia, Femme assise, Jeune femme, Le Sommeil, Femme aux pavots, Le Secret et la Pensiveand and the statue that crowns the tower of the Casa de la Cultura, (Buenos Aires). He was not a prolific sculptor. He participated in the 1890 Exposition Universelle in Paris and was a member of the Société des Artistes Français and exhibited at the Salon from 1891 to 1914. He was a pupil of Alexandre Falguière who sculpted the Triumph of the Republic for the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. At least three different founders cast his bronzes- Colin, Jollet, and Thiebaut frères. His work is highly regarded and well listed in most major discussions of sculptors of the Art Nouveau period. His works, as is this one, are usually signed M. Bouval. **Please note: This is an original antique bronze, not a modern re-strike, and is so guaranteed. Venus at Her Bath

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. Young Boy (perhaps a Putto) with a Branch and a Rattle
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 Le Renommee (Fame and Glory)
