Description: On offer is this signed bronze after Antoine-Louis Barye, 'Walking Tiger'.A famous French sculptor (1795-1875) - known for his lifelike animal bronzes. Signed BARYE on the base.(Note that the card in the last two photos is not included in the sale, but is a vintage post card from the Louvre depicting this bronze - it reads on in French : Barye (1794-1875) was, in the 19th century, our greatest animal sculptor. Instead of representing animals imaginatively, as had so often been done before him, he studied them from nature, and made them alive and real, as he saw them. In his "Walking Tiger" the play of the muscles, the folds of the skin, the palpitation of the flanks, the threat of the mouth, the vigor and the elasticity of the gait, everything gives us the striking impression of the wild beast.Dimensions: 24.3 x 5.9cm x 13.5cm.
