NOTICE
Belgian painter and sculptor Henry de Groux is renowned for his expressive and often dramatic works, marked by a deep sense of emotional intensity. Although he is best known for his paintings and drawings, his bronze sculptures are equally remarkable. His bronzes, often inspired by symbolist and religious themes, convey a dark, tormented vision of the world, characteristic of his style.
De Groux's bronze works are distinguished by their intense expressiveness, with figures in tense postures, capturing moments of raw emotion and psychological tension. Meticulous detail and mastery of texture give his sculptures a particular vitality, and his figures sometimes seem to be wrestling with invisible forces, embodying inner struggles or allegorical scenes.
In the emotional approach to his bronzes, De Groux is close to sculptors such as Auguste Rodin, whose work also explores the complexity of human emotions, and George Minne, who shares a symbolist, introspective aesthetic. Today, Henry de Groux's bronzes are appreciated for their rarity and their ability to transcend time, offering a plunge into the torments of the human soul.
