    PIERRE LENORDEZ French, 1815-1892 A Halting Stallion Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed in cast "P. Lenordez" cast circa 1860 Item # 306GRT17P A rare example of Pierre Lenordez's early work, this fine sand-cast bronze model of a halting stallion showcases the powerful animal as he is stopping his forward motion, rearing slightly as he shifts his weight to his back legs. The model is beautifully chased and a wonderful hammered texture to the hair and texture from the original wax mold replicated in the bronze under the translucent brown surface patina. The model is signed on the back corner of the naturalistic base in his typical script, "P. Lenordez". Born in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, in the district of Manche in northwestern France, Pierre Lenordez eventually established himself in Caen where he would become a professor and teach at the Fine Arts Academy of Caen for a decade, accepting under his tutelage the Romantic sculptor of renown Arthur Jacques Leduc...

Lenordez" foundry inscription for Duplan et Salles cast circa 1870 Item # 305BHE24A An unusually fine example of Lenordez's work, he modeled Monarque with a surface ahead of its time through a marriage of exacting technical representation of the proud stallion and a modernistic mottled texturing of the body that is tangible. The viewer can almost feel the stylus in the artist's hand as it feverishly works the body to push and shape the wax, scuffing and scraping the skin of the horse in a chaotic fervor. This has been captured with utmost integrity by the renowned house of Duplan et Salles, the quality of the sand-casting simply above reproach with crisp replication of the artist's intent evident in every quarter. Typical of Lenordez, the towel tossed on the ground records the important details on the subject, noting: "Monarque!! né en 1852, par the Baron the Emperor ou Sting Poetess par Royal oak vainqueur de 21 prix...
