All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / Ferdinand Barbedienne - George Gardet (1863-1930) - Sculpture
Beautiful and rare patinated bronze sculpture of a tiger in full concentration. Perhaps a dangerous situation is unfolding or a potential prey is about to appear. Gardet is famous for bronze sculptures of tigers and lions but also for crocodiles, dogs, deer, etc. Gardet, the son of a sculptor, studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in the studios of Aimé Millet and Emmanuel Fremiet (also a renowned animal sculptor). His wife Madeleine was the sister of painter and decorator Jean Francis Auburtin, with whom he collaborated on commissions for the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900. In 1900 Gardet was named Officer of the Legion of Honor; he was also a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the Société des Artistes Français. From the mid-19th century up to the Art Deco period, the animal world was an important source of inspiration for artists/sculptors. The sculpture offered here at auction is fairly realistic and superbly cast by the leading bronze founder of the 19th century; Barbedienne. The head of the tiger, with the beautifully detailed rendering of eyes, snout, and coat, is phenomenal! Good condition. Dimensions: Height 23 cm. Length 57 cm. Width 11.5 cm. Shipped by registered mail.
