Biography:
Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) was a French sculptor, considered as one of the main representatives of animal sculpture in the 19th century, whose subjects were particularly popular under the Second Empire, like Antoine-Louis Barye , Auguste Caïn and Pierre Louis Rouillard.
Mêne specialized in small size bronzes, and did not produce work for public statuary. His animal subjects have been very popular and have been the subject of numerous editions. Exclusive publisher of his works, the perfection of his productions was recognized and he revealed himself, with Barye, as the one whose success has been the most constant, and this over the longest period. Mêne appeared to be one of the best lost wax casting practitioners of his time.

- Antique Bronze Dog Portrait of a Cavalier King Charles "Thigley" circa 1905Located in SANTA FE, NMAntique Bronze Dog Portrait of a Cavalier King Charles "Thigley" French School (possibly Franck Burty Haviland) Lost wax bronze casting Circa 1910 5 7/8 x 9 x 3 1/4 A sophisticated bronze casting of a Cavalier King Charles spaniel made in lost wax casting (cire perdue) from the beginning of the 20th century by Valsuani Foundry. This an unusual bronze approached in its aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the work of great animal sculptors of the second half of the 19th century except in this presentation which is more avant-garde for the time with a much looser, more impressionistic execution. The patina is a superb bronze color, brown and slightly greenish, going in places towards a more antique green. The attitude of the dog is extremely well and sensitively rendered with the placement of material unlike the renderings of a bronze by Barye...Category
