Living in Loveland, Colorado Colorado sculptor George Walbye is a product of the Rocky Mountain West, having spent his entire life in the states of Wyoming and Colorado. Born in Rawlins, Wyoming, Walbye lived his early years in that high plains sagebrush country. He spent a number of boyhood summers working on ranches in the area once homesteaded by his grandfather at Whiskey Gap. Following careers in education and sales, Walbye moved into the world of art as a sculptor, using the classical “lost wax” method, which transposes his original works from wax into bronze. Now in his second decade as a fine artist, this self-taught sculptor focuses on both the legendary and contemporary west. Walbye has exhibited his bronzes in numerous shows and exhibitions, and his work is in private collections throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He is an organizer and a top seller in the “Sculpture in the Park” annual show and sale in Loveland, Colorado. Walbye’s sculpture includes vessels with strong design elements and innovative representations of wildlife. He also depicts Indians, cowboys, mountain men and women of the Rocky Mountains and high plains, places where he feels at home.

Horticulture, Garden Prize relief wall hanging
Located in New York, NY
A unique wall piece that is a great gift for any avid gardener or lover of horticulture. Sit Hamo Thornycroft would become one of the youngest members of the Royal Academy, achieve the Medal of Honour at the Paris Exhibition in 1900, and be knighted in 1917. Working in a transitional style between that of the neo-classicists of his parent’s generation and the Modernist style of the 20th century, Thornycroft carved out a niche as a figurative sculptor and noted modeler of public monuments in and around London.

THE LAST DAYS OF NAPOLÉON BY
Located in New Orleans, LA
This highly evocative bronze by Vincenzo Vela captures the deposed Emperor Napoléon on his deathbed, holding a map of Europe and lost in thought about what might have been. Remarkable among most portrayals of the exiled leader, this highly detailed sculpture depicts Napoléon at his most vulnerable. Nonetheless, Vela perfectly captures his still-heroic bearing, which imparts to this work a monumental quality and quiet dignity. The mate to this figure is the colossal marble at the Musée du Château de Malmaison, which was shown at the Paris Salon of 1867.
The founder of the verismo movement in Italy, Vela was one of the great exponents of realism in sculpture. Born in Ligornetto, Switzerland in 1820, he studied under celebrated sculptor, Benedetto Cacciatori. He was also influenced both by the work of Tuscan sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini, who seamlessly combined neoclassicism with naturalism and the romantic painting of Francesco Hayez...
