Bronze Reliefs of Minerva and Mars
Bronze
These exceptional bronze reliefs depicting the Roman deities Minerva and Mars represent the pinnacle of 19th-century French bronze casting, executed by master sculptor Émile Pinedo. The paired compositions showcase the artist's mastery in capturing both the classical power and beauty of these mythological figures, rendered with the technical precision that established Pinedo among the foremost bronze founders of his era.
Minerva, goddess of wisdom and warfare, is portrayed in profile with her characteristic plumed helmet adorned with elaborate decorative elements. Mars, god of war, appears equally commanding with his ornate military regalia and powerful visage, the intricate detailing of his armor and flowing drapery showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to surface texture and form.
Émile Pinedo established himself as one of Paris' most accomplished sculptors and bronze founders, inheriting both his father's foundry and his dedication to excellence in bronze casting. Making his debut at the prestigious Paris Salon of 1870, his bronzes became synonymous with the highest standards of Parisian craftsmanship, combining technical mastery with artistic vision. Today, his works remain highly coveted by collectors and institutions alike.
Each bears the artist's stamp verso on integral hanger, Minerva no. “536”
