Escuela Francesa (s. XIX) - Sculpture, Vecingetorix - 41 cm - Spelter

This sculpture of Vercingétorix, created in the 19th century by the French school, is a work of great presence and visual strength. Standing 41 cm tall and weighing approximately 6 kilograms, it is a large-scale piece designed to stand out in noble spaces or historical collections.

The figure is sculpted in patinated brass, with a solid bronze base that enhances its stability and elegance. The metal treatment and applied patina add depth and character to the surface, highlighting the volumes and details of the modeling.

Vercingétorix is depicted with great realism, dressed in traditional Gallic attire, including a decorated vest, pleated shirt, sash, and a hat with a feather. His expression is firm and determined, conveying the spirit of resistance that made him a symbol of the fight against Rome. The quality of the carving in the folds of the clothing, the prominent mustache, and the facial features demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship and a clear intention to capture the heroic personality of the character.

The base, also decorated, complements the figure without detracting from its prominence, and reinforces the monumental character of the piece. Due to its size, weight, and level of detail, this sculpture is intended to occupy a prominent place, whether in a library, office, or collection room.

It is a piece that combines history, art, and technique, reflecting the 19th-century academic taste for heroic figures and foundational stories.
