116800580 A Hunter'S Prize. A Deer Grazes Out In The Open Land As He Sits. His Antlers Curl Upwards. His Body Is Smooth And Lean. His Legs Curl Beneath His Warm Body. He Is A Brown Patina With Gold Details. His Head Snaps Up As If Hearing A Subtle Noise In The Distance Alerting Him To Incoming Danger, The Sound Of A Hunter'S Boot Snapping A Twig. 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
