"Large Bronze Signed Picault"
André Émile Picault, born August 24, 1833 in Paris and died August 24, 1922 in Paris. Pupil of the painter Henry Royer, this French sculptor and medalist is famous and recognizable for his allegorical subjects, figures of warriors and mythological heroes, often accompanied by sentences in Latin or French. Harmony and realism of the bodies, his style inspired by the Florentines of the Renaissance will be a great success with the bourgeois of the time. It is fashionable to have a Picault in his mansion, especially since he works with the most highly rated foundries: Colin, Susse, Houbedine and the Paris Bronze Society. It is one of the best representative of French sculpture of this time.
