About the Item
Rare bronze sculpture of a joyous boy from the early 1900s.
The sculptor of this Fine work of art has managed to capture the pure innocence and joy of a young child.
Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna on Laughing Boy — The representation of children belongs among the most charming motifs revived by Renaissance art under the influence of Hellenism. Like a number of similar statuettes of equally unaffected charm, this one is probably the portrait of a child conceived as the infant Jesus. Such statuettes were commissioned to be set up in private chapels. The Laughing Boy is considered to be the last work of Desiderio da Settignano, who died young in 1464.
This antique work of art will bring joy and beauty to your life, because the joy it radiates also is a joy to look at.
On the left side of the base the founders mark reads: Fonderie National Des Bronzes, Ancien Firme J. Petermann St.Gilles -Bruxelles. The Fonderie National de Bronzes (1870-1967) was a Belgian company specializing in bronze casting.
The company worked for Belgian, French and Dutch sculptors, including Toon Dupuis, August Falise, Jef Lambeaux and Auguste Rodin.
This fine bronze too looks so much better in real life than in a picture and it will also make a great gift for yourself or a loved one.

Antique Bronze Religious Art Sculpture / Statue Depicting Christ with Children
Located in Lisse, NL
19th century finest bronze group statue.
This excellent quality and very refined sculpture of Christ with children is another one of our recent great finds. Anyone who knows what it takes to create a bronze sculpture from start to finish realizes how special these works of art really are. For us to have found this rare, antique specimen more than made our day. Firstly, because we love the subject matter and secondly, because antique bronzes always are the best when it comes to the details and the patina. Both the serenity in Jesus' face and the way His cloth is perfectly draped around His sitting body are details that never fail to impress. The angelic faces of the two children who are clearly enjoying to be in His presence, make this meaningful and striking sculpture even more pleasant to look at. This handcrafted and antique work of beauty simply warms your heart and it will look marvelous, no matter where you decide to have it on display.
