About the Item

This exceptional Clesinger Combat De Taureaux bronze bull statue captures the raw power, intensity, and dynamic energy of two bulls locked in dramatic combat. Created by the celebrated 19th-century French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Clesinger (1814–1883), this striking bronze reflects his masterful ability to blend naturalistic detail with dramatic movement, hallmarks of his finest works. The sculpture depicts two muscular bulls in mid-struggle, their horns clashing and bodies straining with lifelike tension. The finely cast bronze reveals intricate textural details, from the rippling musculature to the expressive faces and ground beneath their hooves. With its rich patina and commanding form, this bronze animalier sculpture embodies both elegance and primal force, making it a powerful focal point for any collection. Clesinger, known for his romantic and often provocative works, brought a remarkable sense of realism and vigor to this piece. Ideal for collectors of French bronze sculpture, animalier art, or 19th-century decorative arts, this Combat De Taureaux bronze is more than a statue—it is a statement of artistic mastery and timeless design.
