About the Item

This magnificent and highly dynamic French Art Deco sculpture captures an athletic male figure, the Archer, at the apex of his focus, embodying the heroic strength and kinetic movement celebrated by the period. Crafted in spelter (régule) circa 1930's, the sculpture is presented with a rich antique metallic patina (either a greenish-gold or a dark bronze-black), and is mounted on a stepped rectangular base. The powerful pose and refined musculature are characteristic of the best French Art Deco figurative works, often compared to the pieces by masters like Jean de Roncourt or Pierre Le Faguays. Dimensions W 49cm / 19.3 in., D 13 cm / 5.1 in., H 31 cm / 12.2 in.

Sculpture Art Deco in Spelter "The Archer" (ca. 1920) by Jean De Rancourt
Located in Ixelles, BE
- The Artwork: This sculpture by Jean de Roncourt embodies a striking dramatic tension through the figure of an archer in full action. Kneeling, with a taut torso and prominent muscles, the man draws his bow in a gesture of controlled power. The dynamic, almost choreographic posture reveals a perfect knowledge of human anatomy, typical of the Art Deco movement to which de Roncourt belonged. The grey-patinated spelter confers an antique nobility...
