116701580 A Reindeer Climbs A Slanted Hill And Gazes Out At The Open Land Below. His Antlers Curl Upwards And The Tuft Of Fur On His Chest Curls. His Cold Gaze Is Piercing. His Head Snaps To The Side As If Hearing A Subtle Noise In The Distance Alerting Him To Incoming Danger, The Sound Of A Hunter'S Boot Snapping A Twig. He Opens His Mouth And Releases A Warning Sound. This Would Make The Perfect Gift For Any Hunter, Nature Lover Or Country Dweller. 100% Bronze And Handmade, This Two-Toned Brown Patina Sculpture Was Cast Using The "Lost Wax Method". It Features The Signature P.J. Mene. Pierre Jules Mêne, (1810 -1879), Was A French Sculptor And Animalière.He Is Considered To Be The Pioneer Of Animal Sculpture In The Nineteenth-Century. Mêne Produced A Number Of Animal Sculptures, Mainly Of Domestic Animals Like Horses, Cows And Bulls, Sheep, Goats, Etc., Which Were In Vogue During The Second Empire. He Was One Of A "School Of French Animalières" Which Also Included Pierre Louis Rouillard, Antoine-Louis Barye, Auguste Caïn, And François Pompon. Mêne Himself Specialized In Small Bronze Figures Which Explains Why None Of His Works Exist As Public Statuary. His Work Was A Popular Success With The Bourgeois Class And Many Editions Of Each Sculpture Were Made, Often To Decorate The Increasingly Private Homes Of The Period. Mêne Also Seems To Have Enjoyed A Longer Period Of Success And Celebrity Than His Contemporaries. He Is Considered To Have Been The Lost-Wax Casting Expert Of His Time, Later Surpassed Only By Auguste Rodin...................SHIPPING USA: $20....HI, ALASKA, CANADA: $49...ALL OTHER COUNTRIES: $89
