CLESINGER and F. BARBEDIENNE. FONDEUR Bronze, dark brown patina 8 in. (20.3 cm.) high, 22 ½ in. (57.1 cm.) wide Condition: Excellent Circa 1876 Literature: A Pingeot, Musee d'Orsay, Catalogue sommaire illustré des sculpture, Paris, 1986, p. 100-101, see also p. 19 Woman Bitten by a Serpent is an 1847 sculpture by Auguste Clésinger (1814–1883), now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. (Marble) It was commissioned by the industrialist Alfred Mosselman and first exhibited in the Paris Salon in 1847, where it and Thomas Couture's The Romans in their Decadence were the most commented-upon works. Clésinger had modelled his work on a life-cast of Mossellman's mistress, the demi-mondaine Apollonie Sabatier (1822–1890), later Charles Baudelaire's muse. The direct use of a life cast as the basis for a sculpture was highly controversial in the 19th century, particularly in its realism, such as the reproduction of the model's cellulite. Clésinger's friend Théophile Gautier orchestrated a response to the art critics...Category

- Bust of Bacchante by Auguste Baptiste Clesinger, Rome, 1857By Jean Auguste Baptiste ClesingerLocated in Vancouver, British ColumbiaA large bronze bust showing a beautiful young woman depicted as a Bacchante, the Greek Goddess of Wine, her head festooned with grape branches. The bust is supported by an integral bronze plinth that at the back is inscribed with the name of the sculptor, J. Clesinger Rome 1857 dating the bronze to the time when the sculptor was 33 years old. The sculptor whose full name was Jean Auguste Baptiste Clesinger was born in 1813 in Besancon in Southern France. His father, Georges-Philippe, was a sculptor and trained Auguste in art. Auguste first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1843 with a bust of Vicomte Jules de Vaidahon. At the 1847 Salon, he created a sensation with his Woman bitten by a serpent, produced from life-casts from his model Apollonie Sabartier who was a notorious Parisian and the mistress of many perhaps even of Clesinger himself. Later he also produced this bust of her as Bacchante. In private life, the sculptor was awarded one of France’s highest honour, the knight’s cross...Category
