"Percheron Horse" by Antoine-Louis Barye

 

This prancing bronze horse by Antoine-Louis Barye (French, 1796-1875) was directly influenced by Renaissance equestrian sculptures, particularly those of Bernini.  While Barye incorporated comparatively little detail, the sense of movement and musculature are all that is needed to emphasize the dramatic content of the model.  Please be sure to click on the "View More Images" link above to see additional views.

 

We have cast Percheron Horse in our own California art foundry using 4 lbs. (2 kg) of pure bronze.   The sculpture is finished with a rich patina in tones of amber and brown.  Mounted onto a marble base, it stands 9" high by 6½" wide (23 cm high by 16.5 cm wide).  The sculpture is signed "BARYE" in its bronze base.

 

This is a fine bronze sculpture, made to high standards.  We guarantee your satisfaction.
