    Oct. 30, 2024

    JACQUES NICOLAS BRUNOT (1763-1826), A BRONZE MODEL OF A TROTTING HORSE, EARLY 19TH CENTURY

    Est: £15,000 - £25,000

    JACQUES NICOLAS BRUNOT (1763-1826) A BRONZE MODEL OF A TROTTING HORSE EARLY 19TH CENTURY Etalon, signed to cast base edge 'Brunot Fecit' 38cm high, base 34.8 by 13cm Provenance: The Earl of Belmore, Castle Coole, Northern Ireland. Exhibited:Possibly the Salon, Musée Napoléon, Paris, opened on 14th October 1808. Born in 1763 in Clichy-la-Garenne, little is known of Brunot's early training. He made his debut at The Salon in 1808 with a trotting horse which has been identified as possibly being this example (No. 646). Brunot, like his contemporary Stubbs, worked directly from nature studying and modelling equestrian anatomy directly from life notably at the veterinary college at Alfort. This careful detailing is exemplified in this example, the articulated veins on the horse's head, the flared nostrils and the subtly delineated muscles. The treatment of the surface also differentiates the change between textures such as the untrimmed mane crowning the elegant curve of the neck and the smooth flesh below. In 1817 he exhibited three dissection casts at the Paris Salon; A Horse's Head Dissected, A Horse's Legs Dissected and Écorché du cheval dans l'allure du trot (No. 1056), for which he drew on the inspiration of the pose and proportions of the Cavallo Mattei. Today he is perhaps best known not only for his anatomy models and writings on the subject but also for his equestrian statue of Henri IV after Giambologna with two versions from 1814 and 1817 held in the Angers Museum of Fine Arts and the National Museum of the Château de Pau respectively. An article in the August 28th 2024 edition of Country Life (114) titled Take Five: Horses That Made It Into Art celebrates his depiction of the Duke of Angoulême's La Truffe. The thoroughbred was bought in England and brought back to France after the restoration of the Monarchy. Brunot was commissioned to sculpt the horse, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful horses in France, and the work was finished in 1824, the year in which the Duke became Dauphin of France after his father, Charles X, ascended to the throne. The head in plaster is now held in Alfort.
