Late 19th Century Ormolu Bronze / Marble Sculpture
A grand and finely detailed late 19th century ormolu bronze sculpture mounted on a substantial black marble base. Executed in the manner of Flemish master Jean Bologne (Giambologna, 1529–1608), the piece reflects the artist’s celebrated Mannerist style, characterized by elongated forms, graceful movement, and a dynamic sense of tension. The sculptor has captured these qualities with remarkable fidelity, showcasing expertly modeled musculature, fluid drapery, and a dramatic pose that invites appreciation from every angle. The richly gilt bronze surface retains a warm and luminous tone, its sheen contrasting beautifully with the deep black marble plinth. The circular base is finely finished and proportioned to support the sculpture’s vertical momentum, enhancing its presence and stability. Together, the materials and form create a powerful visual composition that exemplifies high 19th century European craftsmanship. This is a striking decorative piece well-suited for a formal library, grand entryway, or any interior seeking a strong classical focal point. The work is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. It stands approximately 35.7 inches tall, and the marble base measures about 8 inches in diameter.
