About the Item
Perseus or the Birth of Pegasus: large group in patinated regular representing Perseus and the winged horse Pegasus
Large sculpture signed E Picault and bearing the mention 'Salon des Beaux-Arts' and a stamp "fabrication Française, made in France"
Perseus or the Birth of Pegasus is a famous episode from Greek mythology:
Danaë, locked by her father in a bronze tower because he fears an oracle (the latter has in fact predicted that he would be killed by his grandson!) is seduced by Zeus who has transformed into a shower of gold From this union Perseus is born.
To protect him, Perseus is taken in by fishermen and grows up.
As an adult, our hero is entrusted with the mission of killing Medusa, a Gorgon who terrorizes men and who has the power to petrify any mortal who looks her in the eye. Perseus kills the Gorgon, and Pegasus born from the severed neck of Medusa
Pegasus will be entrusted to the son of Perseus, Bellerophon, with whom he will accomplish many exploits and he would also have had the merit of having created a certain number of sources with a kick.
Emile Picault (1833-1915): French sculptor frequently exhibited at the Salon des Artistes between 1863 and 1914, His work is rich in busts and sculptures in feet of mythical or warrior characters
