"demosthenes," A Bronze Sculpture By Barbedienne
Artist: Barbedienne
Bronze sculpture , depicting the great Greek orator Demosthenes, signed “F Barbedienne” on the base. France, circa 1850.
Very good condition.
This work was created based on the sculpture by Peulyeuctos depicting the orator, which was made circa 280 B.C., approximately 40 years after his death.This statue, originally erected in the Agora of Athens, has since disappeared, but Roman copies were made and are now on display in several museums, including the Vatican Museum.
In 1838, Ferdinand Barbedienne partnered with Achille Collas, the inventor of the process for mechanically reducing statues; this process enabled Barbedienne to produce scaled-down replicas of antiquities on display in major museums.Demosthenes is one of these magnificent pieces.
