The Bohemian Shepherdess Of Mednat, A Spelter Statue With A Chryselephantine-style Porcelain Biscuit

La Bergère by Mednat statue in regulator and chryselephantine-style porcelain biscuit

An ode to rural life and the pastoral profession, between idealism and serenity.

Shaped at the beginning of the 20th century probably around 1920 during the Art Deco period (1920-1939), this sculpture in brown patina regulates imitating bronze and porcelain biscuit is a work by the artist Mednat, whose side is signed.

Mednat, a French sculptor born in 1890 and died in 1940, is known for his subjects imitating the chryselephantines, between golden patina, bronze and the complexion of the ivory color, offering great realism to his subjects.

Although originating from the Art Deco period, we do not find a 'pure' Art Deco idea in this shepherdess’s work, although the naturalistic theme (the goat, pastoral life) and geometricity (square base, the shepherd’s drape, her tambourine) are present in sobriety, it is above all a poetry that draws its resources from the neoclassical of the transitional era of the 19th century to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements of the early 20th century.

Perfect balance between will realism and poetry, this sculpture brings out a great emotion, that of the serenity of pastoral life with the sweetness of the face of the shepherdess, dreamy, her large dress covering her with a beautiful drape and his tambourine in hand accompanied by his faithful goat. Far from the Parisian splendors of the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties, like an escape from urban human society, with simplicity a proximity to nature.

Lovers of sculptures in the chryselephantine style on the pastoral & Art Deco theme, don’t wait any longer! Adopt this shepherdess by Mednat!
