AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large figure made of silvered bronze by Adrien Étienne Gaudez. The statue is mounted on a stone base. Origin: France, late 19th century. Very good condition, visible minor wear to the silvering.
Overall height - 45 cm
Adrien Étienne Gaudez was born February 2, 1845, in Lyon, France, and died in 1902. He was a pupil of François Jouffroy at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1862. He debuted at the Paris Salon in 1864. He worked almost exclusively in bronze and created many sculptures on a variety of subjects, from genre scenes to military and patriotic themes. His early works were mainly classical in character, but later in his career he produced works that can be classified as Art Nouveau.
He was a prisoner of war during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Having first-hand knowledge of war, he fashioned a monument to French prisoners held in Magdeburg by Prussian forces. The monument was erected at the municipal cemetery. He participated in the Paris Salon in 1878 with a plaster sculpture Childhood of Jupiter.
Gaudez died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, on January 23, 1902.
