After J-B. Pigalle, Cupidon, Late 1800s, Bronze

About This Piece

Bronze bronze sculpture representing "Cupid", according to Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.
Cupid is represented as a young child carrying his traditional attributes, the arrows in the belt quiver and the wings in the back. It is based on a flowerbed.
This bronze is signed "Pigalle" on the base and marked on the date "May 18, 1893".
Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714-1785) is a great French sculptor. He studied very young sculpture under the advice of Robert Le Lorrain then Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, then joined Italy in 1734 to perfect his technique. On his return, he will integrate the Fine Arts thanks to his work "Mercury endearing his heelnière" (1740), which experienced immediate success. The reputation of Pigalle swells to the heart of the Parisian aristocracy. Mme de Pompadour takes him under her wing at the same time as the orders flock. Juggling between the baroque and the classic, he made the portraits of Diderot, of Voltaire then produced the famous funeral monuments intended for the Maréchal de Saxe (Strasbourg, 1776).
"Cupid" is a harmonious bronze. A poetic work that charms by the details of its realization and its universal symbolism.
