Description

A stunning antique French bisque sculpture by Luca Madrassi (1848–1919). This was made in Paris, it dates from around 1890-1900.

It depicts a gorgeous classical scene, it is a lovely size and has a wonderful patina. The condition is excellent with no real damage to the sculpture. There is just one tiny imperfection to the rear of the base, seen in the images. It could be filled fairly easily, we have left it original for the time being.

Luca Madrassi was an Italian-born French artist best known for his bronze Art Nouveau sculptures of mythological, allegorical, and rustic figures. His work was influenced by the famed French illustrator and sculptor Gustave Doré. Born on June 8, 1848 in Tricesimo, Italy, he went on to study under Pierre-Jules Cavelier at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later worked in the studio of Doré. Madrassi exhibited at the Salon de la Sociéte des Artistes Français from 1879 on, becoming a French citizen in 1890. The artist died in 1919 in Paris, France.
