Small, 19th-century French bronze figures
Jun 15, 2021 - Oct 03, 2021
Small, 19th-century French bronze figures are represented by only a few, albeit particularly high-quality objects in the Neue Pinakothek. In addition to large-format sculptures by Thorvaldsen and Canova, as well as by Rodin and Maillol, works of art by Antoine Louis Barye, Camille Claudel, Jules Dalou and others reveal a unique masterly skill on a small scale. Subtle in gesture and movement and with a markedly exquisite surface patination, small bronze figures were especially suited for private connoisseurs. The eight works exhibited on the ground floor of the Alte Pinakothek exemplify the wealth of styles to be found in small objects, ranging from the Neo-Baroque eclecticism of the Acad茅mie des Beaux-Arts in Carpeaux鈥� 鈥楩reezing Figure鈥� to the expressive realism of Rodin鈥檚 鈥楳an with the Broken Nose鈥�.
