"Important Bronze “love Sending Kisses” By A. Moreau – Late 19th Century"
This bronze, titled "Amour Envoyer des Baisers," was sculpted by Auguste Moreau in the late 19th century. It depicts a young, winged Cupid, often interpreted as Cupid, standing on a circular griotte marble base. The girl is captured in a delicate gesture, her hands near her mouth, as if blowing kisses. The details are meticulously crafted: floral motifs adorn the base, and elegant drapery encircles the figure's waist. The bronze's brown patina highlights the textures and finishes, adding depth and visual richness to the work. This type of sculpture reflects the Romantic style and artistic mastery of Auguste Moreau, famous for his poetic and graceful depictions.Auguste Moreau (1834-1917) was a renowned French sculptor who belonged to the prestigious Moreau family, a sculptural dynasty of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He is the son of Jean-Baptiste Moreau and the younger brother of the sculptors Hippolyte and Mathurin Moreau. His children Louis Auguste and François Hippolyte Moreau will also be sculptors. This artist is distinguished by his romantic approach to classical works.*********Period: Late 19th centuryVery good condition.Delivery on quote in France and internationallyDimensions:Height: 44 cmWidth: 17 cmDepth: 17 cmReference: 244V
