              Est: €3,000 - €4,000

              JEAN-BAPTISTE AUGUSTE CLÉSINGER (France, 1814 - 1883). "Naked Huntress". Rome, 1860. Sculpture in patinated bronze. Signed by the author and with seal of Barbedienne foundry. Measurements: 39 x 18 x 31 cm. Sculpture in bronze, work of Jean-Baptiste Clésinger, inspired by the goddess of the hunt, Artemis or Diana, whom he represents however naked, a value opposed to the púdica condition of the Greco-Roman divinity. Mainly a sculptor, although he also cultivated painting, Jean-Baptiste Clésinger, called Auguste, began his training with his father, the sculptor Georges-Philippe Clésinger, who taught at the School of Fine Arts in Bensaçon. He was also a disciple of Bertel Thorwaldsen, although his language is framed rather in romanticism, soon moving away from the neoclassical models of this master. Clésinger began exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1843, debuting with a bust portrait of Viscount Jules de Valdahon. He regularly showed his works at this Salon until 1864, and in the 1847 edition he caused a scandal for the sensuality of his distinctly romantic work, "Woman Bitten by a Snake", for which he based himself on the study of a real model, Apollonie Sabatier, who was Clésinger's lover and also Baudelaire's. Only two years later, in 1849, he was named Knight of the French Legion of Honor, becoming an officer in 1864. He stood out as a portrait painter, representing prominent figures of the time such as the actress Rachel Félix or Théophile Gautier. Of special importance is his statue of Louise of Savoy in the series "Queens of France and illustrious women" of the Luxembourg Garden in Paris. Also noteworthy is his funerary monument for Chopin's tomb, made in 1850. In 1864 Clésinguer joined the Société Générale de Photosculpture de France, of which he would become artistic director three years later, and in fact he would be one of the main advocates of this new technique, which applied industrial progress to sculptural production. Clésinger's works are currently preserved in the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée de la Vie Romantique and the Petit Palais in Paris, the Musée de la Picardie in Amiens and other public and private collections.

              JEAN-BAPTISTE AUGUSTE CLÉSINGER (Besançon, 22 October 1814 - Paris, 6 January 1883); Rome, 1860. "Mithra". Blued bronze. Founder; Barbedienne. Size: 35 x 16 x 13 cm. Mainly a sculptor, but also a painter, Jean-Baptiste Clésinger, known as Auguste, began his training with his father, the sculptor Georges-Philippe Clésinger, who taught at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bensaçon. He was also a pupil of Bertel Thorwaldsen, although his language is more Romantic, and he soon moved away from the neoclassical models of this master. Clésinger began to exhibit at the Paris Salon in 1843, making his debut with a bust portrait of Viscount Jules de Valdahon. He regularly exhibited his works at this Salon until 1864, and in the 1847 edition he caused a scandal with the sensuality of his clearly Romantic work "Woman Bitten by a Snake", for which he based himself on the study of a real model, Apollonie Sabatier, who was Clésinger's lover and also Baudelaire's. Only two years later, in 1849, he was appointed Knight of the French Legion of Honour, becoming an officer in 1864. He excelled as a portrait painter, depicting prominent figures of the time such as the actress Rachel Félix and Théophile Gautier. Of particular importance is his statue of Louise of Savoy in the series "Queens of France and Illustrious Women" in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. Also noteworthy is his funerary monument for Chopin's tomb, executed in 1850. In 1864 Clésinguer joined the Société Générale de Photo-sculpture de France, of which he became artistic director three years later, and was in fact one of the main advocates of this new technique, which applied industrial progress to sculptural production. Works by Clésinger are now in the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée de la Vie Romantique and the Petit Palais in Paris, the Musée de la Picardie in Amiens and other public and private collections.

His full scale marble figure of Cleopatra Mourante (Cleopatra Dying) was sent from his Roman workshop to the Paris Salon of 1861, and was subsequently purchased by the bronze founder Barbedienne; who produced an edition of bronze reductions of the sculpture. It is likely this exhibition marble is the same example sold at Sotheby's, London, 12 July 2017, lot 19 for £100,000. Clesinger also produced a recumbant Cléopâtre devant César in 1869, and a standing figure of Cleopatra in 1868.
