"Large Bronze Lion Statue, Made By French Sculptor Louis Vidal (1831-1892)"
This bronze statue by French sculptor Louis Vidal (1831-1892) depicts a lion in a powerful, alert pose. The lion has a tense body, a slightly hunched posture, and an intense facial expression that evokes a sense of movement and alertness. The details of the animal's mane, muscles, and anatomy demonstrate Vidal's exceptional skill in animal sculpture. This work reflects his talent for capturing the dynamism and power of wild animals, a popular theme in 19th-century French sculpture. These types of animal sculptures, often in a realist style, were popular in the art world of his time and show the influences of other animal painters and sculptors such as Antoine-Louis Barye.
