Jean Baptiste Carpeaux. *l’amour Blessé*. Large Studio Plaster Cast
A magnificent plaster sculpture by Jean Baptiste Carpeaux.
Exhibited at the 1874 Salon, *L'Amour blessé* was produced by Carpeaux as early as 1873. The sculptor used his son Charles as a model; Charles had injured himself on a train door during a trip. To comfort him, his mother gave him a dove, and the artist saw in this touching scene an allegory of a weeping Cupid. Our sculpture is one of the few known examples of this composition in plaster.
75 cm tall.
In very good condition except for some very minor chips. See photo
