About the Item
A very good large antique French gilt bronze of the Roman goddess Fortuna, by Louis Guillaume Fulconis (1818-1873), circa 1860.
The bronze is inspired by sculpture of the Italian Renaissance sculptor Giambologna (1529-1608). The bronze is finely cast & gilded & depicts Fortuna raised on a mottled Rouge Antique marble plith & holding a spiral fluted cornucopia, with flowers in one hand and a handful of cascading coins in the other. She is dressed in a diaphanous garment with her hair tresses loosely tied back with a ribbon, her right foot standing on the wheel of fortune.
The bronze is signed to the base "Fulconis" and is also marked with the foundry stamp and "France". Good condition.

- David Defeating Goliath by Antonin Mercie (1845-1916)By Fernand Antonin MerciéLocated in New York, NYThe dazzling David, a prolific subject amongst sculpture artists beginning in the renaissance; this later version by Antonin Merice undoubtedly builds upon the tradition of the David in statuature. Inspired by Donatello's most famous depiction of David, Merice portrays the biblical figure moments after his triumphal defeat of Goliath in a divine, rich brown bronze. Mercie chooses to showcase David placing his sword back into its scabbard, symbolizing the end of his battle with the beast. Standing in contrapposto, the young man is not cladly nude like the story in the bible tells us, but wears a small fabric wrap around the hips and a second wrapped around his head. The skillful bronze casting of the statue done by the Achille Collas foundry, the co owner of the Barbedienne foundry, is superb, with the blade of the sword containing only one anchor point, only a truly skillful foundry could produce this bronze. Artist: Fernand Antonin Mercié...Category
