CALAMINE SCULPTURE. SIGNED “AUG. MOREAU”. AFTER MODELS FROM AUGUSTE MOREAU. FRANCE, 19TH CENTURY.
Decorative Antiques -
Reference: Z0388
Sculpture in calamine. Signed “Aug. Moreau”. Following models by Auguste Moreau, France, 19th century. It is reminiscent of works such as the bronze sculpture "The Fountain" by Mathurin Moreau, as well as pieces by Hippolyte Moreau and Auguste Moreau (France, 1834–1917). Auguste began his training as a pupil of his older brother, Mathurin. He debuted at the Paris Salon of 1861, where he exhibited regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His subjects—genre scenes, pastoral scenes, allegorical works—and his realistic and graceful style link him to other members of the Moreau dynasty, known for their small-scale bronze works that were widely reproduced and inspired many other masters, both during the artists' lifetimes and after their deaths.
