About the Item

Jules Moigniez - Bronze Hunting Dog France Bronze Late 19th century Dimensions: H × W × D: 19 × 32 × 14 cm Description: Finely crafted bronze hunting scene by Jules Moigniez (1835-1894), one of the most famous French animal sculptors of the 19th century. A long-haired hunting dog - probably a setter - is depicted in an attentive pose, his gaze directed to the side. A hare lies at his paws. The moving fur structure is worked out in great detail, the animal's strong body modelled in a naturalistic manner. The depiction not only shows the scene of a successful hunt, but also the sensitive relationship between dog and prey. The bronze is signed on the base with J. Moigniez. Interesting facts: Jules Moigniez was born in Senlis in 1835 and was a pupil of Paul Comoléra, a specialist in depicting birds. His artistic breakthrough came at the Exposition Universelle in 1855 and he later exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon. His sculptures - mostly animals in motion, hunting scenes or horses - are characterised by high technical precision and realistic anatomy. The excellent quality of his bronze casts, most of which were created in the family's own foundry, is particularly noteworthy. After Moigniez's death in 1894, the foundry continued to operate under the management of Auguste Gouge until the early 20th century. Moigniez's works were already successfully marketed at that time and were widely distributed, particularly in Great Britain and the USA. Condition: Very good state of preservation with beautiful original patina. There are no recognisable restorations. This famous model is illustrated in the technical literature: Pierre Kjellberg - Les Bronzes du XIXe Siècle S. 497
