Barye, Antoine-Louis |
0.07 sec. |
Barye, Antoine-Louis(born Sept. 24, 1796, Paris, Fr.—died June 29, 1875, Paris) French sculptor. The son of a goldsmith, he was apprenticed at 13 to an engraver. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts (1818–23) and began to sculpt animal forms c. 1819. Influenced by Théodore Géricault, he had a unique talent for rendering dynamic tension and exact anatomical detail. His most famous works depict wild animals devouring their prey; he also rendered groups of domestic animals. His notable bronzes include Lion Devouring a Gavial Crocodile (1831) and an equestrian statue of Napoleon at Ajaccio, Corsica (1860–65). How to thank TFD for its existence?
