Antoine-Louis BARYE (1795-1875) - Lot 138
Antoine-Louis BARYE (1795-1875) Tartar Rider Proof in bronze with brown shaded patina Old edition cast iron signed on the terrace 37 x 36 cm (Missing the plumet on the top of the helmet) Emblematic of the romantic statuary, this model is one of the most famous of the sculptor. Nine proofs of the horseman were made between July 1850 and March 1857, and there are less than fifty proofs in old cast iron. The popularity of the model was assured by the posthumous castings of Ferdinand Barbedienne. A similar copy is preserved in the Musée du Louvre, Department of Medieval, Renaissance and Modern Sculptures, inv. no. 875; 1032. Bibliography: Pierre Kjellberg, Les Bronzes au XIXe siècle, Ed. de l'Amateur, 1989 (a model is referenced under number 4); Michel Poletti, Alain Richarme, Barye, Ed. Gallimard, pages 56 (model referenced under number 24), 76 and 77.
