Patinated Bronze Mounted on Marble Sculpture Figure of a Lion
The sculpture is a bronze art piece depicting a tiger in a prowling stance on a marble base. The piece captures a sense of dynamic movement and raw power, with the tiger's musculature and facial expression, including its open mouth, meticulously rendered to appear lifelike. The surface has a patina, which is a finish applied to the bronze to create a rich color and texture.
This style of art is known as Animalier, an artistic movement that originated in 19th-century France. Artists in this genre, known as "animaliers," specialized in the realistic portrayal of animals. The movement was a departure from traditional decorative animal art, focusing instead on capturing the vitality, anatomical precision, and dramatic tension of animals in their natural state. Antoine-Louis Barye is often considered the founder of this movement.
The base is engraved PARIS 1908.
