Important Bronze

Important bronze with green patina, titled "Le Départ" and signed on the embankment. Victorien Tournier (1833-1910) French sculptor, specialist in neo-Gothic sculpture, is known for having adorned three emblematic places in Paris: Notre-Dame, the Hôtel de Ville and the Sacré-Coeur basilica. "The Departure" represents an ancient fighter, engaging in walking, barefoot, on a vegetal heap. The man is lightly dressed, his torso muscular, an animal skin covers his crotch and part of his buttocks. He is about to draw a sword. Long hair, flowing in the wind. Determination can be read in his eyes: he goes into battle. An ode to beauty and male virility, this work will charm its buyer.
