Emile Soldi Marble Bust Of Alphonse Couvreux 19th Century Sculpture Soldi-colbert
Artist: Emile Soldi Colbert 1846 - 1906
Beautiful, large marble bust by Emile Soldi of Alphonse Couvreux.
Remarkable quality of sculpture, superb expression of the character.
I invite you to consult the Wikipedia entries for these two illustrious figures, both distinguished with the Legion of Honor.
Emile Soldi, great sculptor and medallist, awarded the Prix de Rome in 1869 and featured in many museums and public places
Alphonse Couvreux ( 1820-1890) entrepreneur and inventor who revolutionized industry with his patent for the bucket excavator (Suez Canal drilling, railway earthworks, etc.).
This is a major piece, placed in the context of the late 19th century, when the evolution of technology and mechanization enabled industry to make an extraordinary leap forward.
Good condition, with a few chips in the marble and a marker mark on the back (ground floor) - see photos-
Base of plinth: 24 x 24 cm
