Antoine-Louis BARYE (1795–1875) - Lot 302
Antoine-Louis BARYE (1795–1875) Bear on the Hunt, c. 1900 Bronze with a green patina tinged with black Posthumous edition. Study for *Bear Perched on a Tree Eating an Owl* Signed on the base Dimensions: 21.5 x 17.3 x 15.4 cm Bibliography: catalogue raisonné CS 233 Note: A leading figure in 19th-century animal sculpture, Antoine-Louis Barye distinguished himself through his ability to capture animal anatomy, movement, and instinct with remarkable accuracy. This study, depicting a bear perched in a tree devouring an owl, illustrates the originality of his repertoire and his penchant for animal scenes captured in the moment. The richness of the green patina, tinged with black, highlights the quality of the modeling and the liveliness of the composition. Cast in bronze as part of a posthumous edition, this work with its unique subject matter offers a beautiful glimpse into Barye’s world and is a prime piece for collectors of animal sculpture.
