19th Century Gilt-Bronze Sculpture of Dionysos
About the Item
The gilt-bronze statue of a nude youthful Dionysus standing on his right leg. In contrapposto position sculpted with a well-defined musculature. The head is bent down with a contemplative gaze. He wears a crown of ivy and has a fawn-skin knotted over his left shoulder. The high-laced leather boots with great detail. The figure stands atop a bronze base.
After an original bronze excavated, 1862 in Pompeii, sometimes also known as Narcissus due to his contemplative downward gaze. A very decorative hollow bronze cast with a faded and worn gilt-bronze surface that displays a beautiful patina.
The sculpture originates from the late 19th century, a possible souvenir from the 'grand Tour', a token of the enthusiasm for neo-classical culture of the time.

- Pair of 19th Century Gilt and Silvered Bronze Sculptures of WomenBy Pierre-Eugène-Émile HébertLocated in Norwood, NJRare pair of bronze sculptures by Emile Herbért. Fine quality silvered and gilt bronze figures of a warrior woman and a poet women dressed accordingly with military attire and poetic words. Signed and foundry marked with the G. Servant mark.

He was born in 1828, and studied sculpture privately, with his father Pierre (1804-1869) and Jean-Jacques Feuchère (1807-1852), both of whom pursued modestly successful careers in the Salon and as public sculptors beginning in the 1830s.
