Important Brass Eagle - XXth

Important brass eagle representing a raptor landing with outstretched wings, and clutching a branch with its talons. The meticulous chiselling work reveals, in relief and in gradients, the different wing covers. The smallest anatomical parts of the animal are faithfully reproduced. The eagle is symbolized in different religions and beliefs, credited with being powerful, pure and prestigious. He is the king of the birds, the incarnation or the messenger of the sky and the sun, which he alone dares to stare at without burning his eyes. Emblem of many nations and organizations, it is also present in literature. Stendhal compares him to great men, who "in rising, is less visible and punished for his greatness by the loneliness of the soul". This article will catch the eye with its undeniable presence.
