Bronze Subject,

Elegant bronze sculpture with nuanced patina depicting the mythological hero Jason triumphant, brandishing the golden fleece. The artist forcefully captures the decisive moment: the young hero, with his noble bearing and finely naturalistic modeling, firmly holds his sword while the dragon, guardian of the precious fleece, lies struck down at his feet.

The composition, dynamic and balanced, rests on a finely worked rocky base, reinforcing the dramatic aspect of the scene. The treatment of the body, with great anatomical precision, bears witness to the academic influence and taste for antique subjects characteristic of the late 19th century.

This work, after the sculptor Alfred-Désiré Lanson, vividly illustrates one of the most famous episodes in Greek mythology, Jason and the Conquest of the Golden Fleece.

A decorative piece of fine quality, combining narrative power and finesse of execution, ideal for lovers of classical sculpture and mythology.
