About the Item

Large bronze sculpture with a brown patina representing the famous sculpture Venus at the Bath, after Allegrain. It bears on the back the signature Allegrain GC Fecit 1767, and the stamps of Barbedienne Fondeur and Collas mechanical reduction. Christophe Gabriel Allegrain (1710-1795) was a French sculptor whose most famous sculpture, Venus at the Bath, in marble and life-size, is now on display at the Louvre Museum. Commissioned by the Marquis de Marigny for the Château de Choisy, the marble sculpture was exhibited at the Salon of 1767 and received widespread admiration, launching Allegrain's reputation. In 1838, the renowned foundry Barbedienne partnered with Achille Collas (1795-1859) – the inventor of the mechanical reduction process for sculptures – with for example this model Minimal wear to the patina. Height 87cm, 31 x 31cm, 29.8 kg.
