French Bronze Sculpture "wounded Amazon", Early 19th Century
This early 19th-century bronze sculpture of a "Wounded Amazon" is a refined reproduction after the original cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne. It bears the inscription "Reduction Mécanique A. Collas," indicating that it was produced using the renowned mechanical reduction process developed by Achille Collas. Achille Collas (Paris, February 21, 1795 – Paris, March 3, 1859) was a French engineer, engraver, and illustrator whose innovations transformed the reproduction of sculptures. His mechanical reduction device, capable of translating full-size works into precise miniature copies, enjoyed immense success in the 19th century and enabled the widespread dissemination of sculptural masterpieces in bronze and other materials.
