Description
FREMIET Emmanuel (1824–1910) ‘Saint Michael the Archangel’ Model created in 1875 and modified in 1897. Produced by Barbedienne from 1910 onwards. Bronze cast with a nuanced light brown patina, signed, bearing the foundry mark ‘F. Barbedienne’ around the rim. Marble plinth (a few small chips). 56 x 33 x 23 cm Emmanuel Frémiet was a Parisian sculptor, both the nephew and pupil of Rude. He made his debut at the Salon with a ‘Gazelle’, a plaster study. He subsequently won numerous medals and was henceforth ranked amongst the master sculptors. Napoleon III commissioned him to create a collection of statuettes depicting the various branches of the French army. Although accustomed to animal subjects, ‘St Michael Slaying the Dragon’ breaks new ground and reveals an academic concern for likeness and propriety.
