Bronze

Bronze sculpture with green patina representing a crowing rooster, signed Géo Vacossin and bearing the stamp “Fumière et Cie Suce. Thiebaut Paris”. A rooster with a proud posture, camped on its legs, opens its beak for a song that we imagine powerful. Emblem of France since antiquity, the rooster symbolizes combativeness, valor and bravery. Georges Lucien Vacossin (1870-1942) is a renowned animal engraver and sculptor. A pupil of Lemaire at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he exhibited at the Salon of French Artists from 1902 to 1937 and became a member in 1905. He received honors and medals there. "Le coq gaulois" is a patriotic work. The details of realization bring charisma to this symbolic sculpture.
