Description

1 lingua: inglese Legat. edit. rigida in tela con sovrac. illustrata, cm 28x22, pag. IV + 339, con centinaia di illustraz. e tavole in b.n. - Text by Jane Horswell - A reference and price guide to the work of 'Les Animaliers', the nineteenth century French school of sculptors, including biographical information on Barye, Fratin, Mene, the Bonheurs, Fremiet, and Moigniez - An animalier is an artist, mainly from the 19th century, who specializes in, or is known for, skill in the realistic portrayal of animals. 'Animal painter' is the more general term for earlier artists. Although the work may be in any genre or format, the term is most often applied to sculptors and painters. Animalier as a collective plural noun, or animalier bronzes, is also a term in antiques for small scale sculptures of animals, of which large numbers were produced, often mass produced, in 19th century France and elsewhere. Although many earlier examples can be found, animalier sculpture became more popular, and reputable, in early 19th century Paris with the works of Antoine Louis Barye (1795 1875) for whom the term was coined, derisively, by critics in 1831.
