Paul Loiseau-Rousseau, French Art Nouveau Gilt Bronze Jug, Ca. 1900
About the Item
Paul Louis Emile Loiseau-Rousseau (French, 1861-1927) was a famous French sculptor. In his youth, he planned to devote himself to etching, was a student of Antoine-Louis Barye at the École des Beaux-arts in Paris and exhibited for the first time at the Salon in 1886. However, following soon after that health troubles and financial problems made him leave the Fine Arts temporarily.
Nonetheless, he then followed the evening classes of the sculptor, Théophile Barrau and presented at the Salons only a few works of small formats, which brought him success. He then obtained a scholarship in 1892, and was thus able to travel to Africa. His travels in Africa inspired him with Orientalist scenes and wild animal hunts. He then produced characters typical of this continent with a concern for ethnic realism and great anatomical precision. He was also interested in bullfighting and certain characters from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
His talent was noticed and he obtained the third place medal at the 1892 Salon; in 1895, the second place medal; and, finally, a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1904. In 1893, he exhibited at the Salon, "Salem, African playing goumbri" in plaster; and in 1895, a "bust of a man from Sudan" in patinated plaster. In 1897, he successfully presented the marble and bronze bust of "Salem, a man from Sudan" at the Salon.
Paul Loiseau-Rousseau was appointed Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1901. Several of his Orientalist-inspired works can be seen in many French museums, including those in Amiens, Tourcoing and Nice.

- French Art Nouveau Patinated Bronze Sculptural Iris Vase, ca. 1900Located in New York, NYABOUT IRIS The iris is a special and mysterious flower. Not only because of its striking appearance, but also from an artistic and historical point of view. It is also like a work of art, as though created by Mother Nature. The unique leaves of this plant not only create wonderful shadow casts, but also look as if they were painted by hand. It's no wonder that iris acts as the muse for countless artists, and can be seen in many famous works of art. The iris was first spotted in the time of Pharaoh Thutmose, in 1504 BC. He had the iris inscribed into the wall reliefs of a temple as a sign of his power, as well as decorating his sceptre with motifs of the flower. Since then, the iris has been a symbol of victory in Egypt. But the symbolism of the iris goes further than that. In Japan, the flower represents courage and is the symbol of the boys' festival. In Islamic cultures, the iris is a symbol of prosperity. In Europe, the flower was a popular weapon symbol in the Middle Ages and stood for chivalry. And in Christianity, the iris was seen as a symbol of the trinity because of its three-part flowers. With more than 300 varieties, the iris is now the most popular flower among growers and gardeners following the rose. Countless artists use the iris in their works and the flower is present in all eras. You can see the flower on furniture, vases, jewelry, fabrics, sculptures, coats of arms and much more. Did you know that the iris is also called the sword lily? It's not a coincidence that it used to symbolize physical and emotional pain and suffering caused by a weapon. We also see the flower in religious art, where it's often associated with Mary and Jesus. The iris is also associated with the Greek goddess Iris, where the flower symbolizes reconciliation and divine messages. This is also reflected in many paintings. Finally, the iris is also visible in Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings. This can be in a religious form, incorporated into an object or as a decorative flower. In the Art Nouveau art movement, the iris (along with other plants, such as the birch) was often used as an expression of feminine beauty. With its almost otherworldly appearance, the iris is perfectly suited to the Art Nouveau aesthetic and is featured in many well-known works of art. The poet of that era, Hermann Hesse...Category
