Antoine-louis Barye - Lion Walking On A Terrace
Artist: Antoine-louis Barye
Antoine-Louis Barye, a bronze edition with a brown patina of the Walking Lion (with a rectangular plinth based on an 1840 model).
The sculpture and patina are in good condition, and the signature "BARYE" is visible on the base.
Of particular interest is the presence of an old label beneath the base.
This label indicates that this was a shop specializing in "bronces artísticos" (artistic bronzes), located at Calle Fernando VII, 37 and Aviñó, 5 in Barcelona (an address that no longer exists). This establishment was known as "Casa Especial en Novedades Olivella Hnos" and presented itself as an "Antigua Casa Bach," suggesting a long tradition in the field of casting and selling artistic bronzes.
After further research, this bronze, bearing the visible mark preceding the BARYE signature (photo No. 4), appears in the Barye catalogue raisonné (Michel Poletti and Alain Richarme) as "III 149 - Authentic cast, reduced size, early edition by F. Barbedienne, foundryman, circa 1900." (photo No. 9)
Antoine-Louis Barye (1796–1875) was a French sculptor and painter, famous for his animal works characterized by remarkable realism and expressiveness. He is considered one of the greatest masters of 19th-century animal sculpture.
