Decorative Antiques - Miscellaneous
Reference: Z0388
Sculpture in corrugated iron. Signed “Aug. Moreau”. Following models by Auguste Moreau, France, 19th century. It is reminiscent of works such as the bronze “The Fountain” by Mathurin Moreau, and pieces by Hyppolyte Moreau and Auguste Moreau (France, 1834 – 1917). Auguste began his training as a disciple of his older brother Mathurin. He made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1861, where he participated regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His themes – genre scenes, pastorals, allegorical – and his realistic and graceful style link him with other members of the Moreau dynasty, known for their small bronze works that were widely reproduced and inspired many other masters, both during the artists’ lifetime and after their death.
