19th Century Gilt-Bronze Sculpture of Dionysos

About the Item

The gilt-bronze statue of a nude youthful Dionysus standing on his right leg. In contrapposto position sculpted with a well-defined musculature. The head is bent down with a contemplative gaze. He wears a crown of ivy and has a fawn-skin knotted over his left shoulder. The high-laced leather boots with great detail. The figure stands atop a bronze base. After an original bronze excavated, 1862 in Pompeii, sometimes also known as Narcissus due to his contemplative downward gaze. A very decorative hollow bronze cast with a faded and worn gilt-bronze surface that displays a beautiful patina. The sculpture originates from the late 19th century, a possible souvenir from the 'grand Tour', a token of the enthusiasm for neo-classical culture of the time. Comparative literature: Le collezioni del Museo Nazionale Archeologico Napoli 1989, no. 240.

Pair of 19th Century Gilt and Silvered Bronze Sculptures of Women
By Pierre-Eugène-Émile Hébert
Located in Norwood, NJ
Rare pair of bronze sculptures by Emile Herbért. Fine quality silvered and gilt bronze figures of a warrior woman and a poet women dressed accordingly with military attire and poetic words. Signed and foundry marked with the G. Servant mark. Pierre-Eugène-Emile Hébert, French, (1828 - 1893). A native Parisian, Hébert apparently lived and worked in the capital until his death. He was born in 1828, and studied sculpture privately, with his father Pierre (1804-1869) and Jean-Jacques Feuchère (1807-1852), both of whom pursued modestly successful careers in the Salon and as public sculptors beginning in the 1830s. Hébert learned extensively from their very divergent paths. Whereas Pierre Hébert...
