Etienne-Maurice Falconet Sold at Auction Prices

Sculptor, b. 1716 - d. 1791

Étienne Maurice Falconet (1 December 1716 – 24 January 1791) was a French baroque, rococo and neoclassical sculptor, best-known for his equestrian statue of Peter the Great, the Bronze Horseman (1782), in St. Petersburg, Russia, and for the small statues he produced in series for the Royal Sévres Porcelain Manufactory

Falconet was born to a poor family in Paris. He was at first apprenticed to a carpenter, but some of his clay figures, with the making of which he occupied his leisure hours, attracted the notice of the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, who made him his pupil. One of his most successful early sculptures was of Milo of Croton, which secured his admission to the membership of the Académie des beaux-arts in 1754.

He came to prominent public attention in the Salons of 1755 and 1757 with his marbles of L'Amour and the Nymphe descendant au bain (also called The Bather), which is now at the Louvre. In 1757 Falconet was appointed director of the sculpture atelier of the new Manufacture royale de porcelaine at Sèvres, where he brought new life to the manufacture of small sculptures in unglazed soft-paste porcelain figurines that had been a specialty at the predecessor of the Sèvres manufactory, Vincennes.

The influence of the painter François Boucher and of contemporary theater and ballet are equally in evidence in Falconet's subjects, and his sweet, elegantly erotic, somewhat coy manner. Right at the start, Falconet created for Sèvres a set of white biscuit table garnitures of putti (Falconet's Enfants), illustrating the Arts, meant to complement the manufacture's grand dinner services. The fashion for similar small table sculptures spread to most of the porcelain manufacturies of Europe.

He remained at the Sèvres post until he was invited to Russia by Catherine the Great in September 1766. At St Petersburg he executed a colossal statue of Peter the Great in bronze, known as the Bronze Horseman, together with his pupil and stepdaughter Marie-Anne Collot. In 1788, back in Paris he became director of the Académie des beaux-arts. Many of Falconet's religious works, commissioned for churches, were destroyed at the time of the French Revolution. His work on private commission fared better.

He found time to study Greek and Latin, and also wrote several brochures on art: Denis Diderot confided to him the chapter on "Sculpture" in the Encyclopédie,[3] separately released by Falconet as Réflexions sur la sculpture in 1768. Three years later, he published Observations sur la statue de Marc-Aurèle, which may be interpreted as the artistic program for his statue of Peter the Great. Falconet's writings on art, his Oeuvres littéraires came to six volumes when they were first published, at Lausanne, in 1781–1782.

Falconet's somewhat prettified and too easy charm incurred the criticism of the Encyclopædia Britannica 1911: "His artistic productions are characterized by the same defects as his writings, for though manifesting considerable cleverness and some power of imagination, they display in many cases a false and fantastic taste, the result, most probably, of an excessive striving after originality."

In 2001/2002, when the Musée de Céramique at Sèvres mounted an exhibition of Falconet's production for Sèvres, 1757–1766, its subtitle was " l'art de plaire" ("the art of pleasing.")

Travail russe du XIXe siècle Manques mais bon état Dim. H. 35.5 x L. 30 x P. 16 cm Historique: Cette statue équestre de Pierre le Grand, dressée sur l'actuelle place du Sénat, fut inaugurée sous le règne de l'impératrice Catherine II (1729-1796) qui voulut ainsi honorer son glorieux prédécesseur. Bien que la paternité de cette oeuvre soit attribuée au sculpteur Étienne-Maurice Falconet (1716-1791), le visage de Pierre le Grand est quant à lui dû à l'artiste Marie-Anne Collot (1748-1821) qui accompagna son maître, Falconet, lors de son voyage en Russie en 1766 Elle modela le visage de l'empereur défunt d'après son masque mortuaire et divers portraits qu'elle trouva à Saint-Pétersbourg La statue, fondue initialement en 1775 chez Emelian Khaïlov, ne fut achevée qu'en 1777 à cause d'un accident de coulée Elle fut inauguré le 7 août 1782 mais sans l'artiste, rentré en France quatre ans plus tôt Этьен-Морис ФАЛЬКОНЕ (1716-1791), копия с оригинала МЕДНЫЙ ВСАДНИК или ПАМЯТНИК ПЕТРУ ВЕЛИКОМУ Эффектная статуя из ПОЗОЛОЧЕННОЙ БРОНЗЫ, копия с оригинала Этьена-Мориса ФАЛЬКОНЕ (1716-1791).

Утраты, но в хорошем состоянии. 35,5 x 30 x 16 см Историческая справка: Эта конная статуя Петра Великого, установленная на нынешней Сенатской площади, была открыта во времена правления императрицы Екатерины II (1729-1796), которая таким образом хотела почтить память своего славного предшественника Хоть авторство этой работы и приписывают скульптору Этьену-Морису ФАЛЬКОНЕ (1716-1791), лицо Петра Великого принадлежит художнице Мари-Анн КОЛЛО (1748-1821), которая сопровождала своего наставника Фальконе во время его поездка в Россию в 1766 г. Лицо покойного императора она слепила по его посмертной маске и различным портретам, найденным ею в Санкт-Петербурге Статуя, первоначально отлитая в 1775 г. у Емельяна Хайлова, была завершена лишь в 1777 г. из-за несчастного случая Памятник был открыт 7 августа 1782 года, но без художника, так как он вернулся во Францию ​​четырьмя годами ранее

It was subsequently documented in 1824 in the Grand Trianon at Versailles, and finally moved to Louvre around 1855 where it remains today (inv. M.R. 1846). Its success led to reproductions throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, as seen with the present example.

    Étienne Maurice Falconet

    Est: €900 - €1,800

    (1716 Paris - 1796 ebenda) nach "La baigneuse" (Die Badende) Originaltitel. Weiß gefasster Steinguss des 20. Jhs., nach der berühmten Marmorskulptur im Louvre; gesonderte Säulenplinthe aus gleichem Material mit Blattrelief. Auf einem Natursockel stehende, sich an einen Baumstumpf stützende junge Frau, ihre linke Fußspitze vorsichtig ins Wasser tauchend. "La baigneuse" gehört zu den bedeutendsten Schöpfungen Falconets und Skulpturen des 18. Jhs., das durch die besonders subtile Behandlung des anmutigen Aktes herausragt. 1757 stellte Falconet die Skulptur mit phänomenalem Erfolg im Salon in Paris aus, so das er selbst mit Repliken beauftragt wurde und sie ab 1758 auch in Biskuitporzellan ausgeformt wurde. H. ca. 136 cm. After Étienne Maurice Falconet (1716 - 1796). Stone cast, 20th C., after the marble sculpture exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1757, now in the Louvre Museum in Paris .
