About this Item
Uniface bronze medal bust right, diameter 147 mm, pierced at 3 o'clock. An extremely fine bronze medal of the French philosopher and writer Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836), by David d'Angers. Frick collection: 'Lauded by Victor Hugo as the Michelangelo of Paris, French sculptor Pierre-Jean David d'Angers (1788?1856) produced many of the most iconic portraits and ambitious public monuments of the Romantic era. An experimental writer, outspoken Republican, and teacher to some of the greatest sculptors of the nineteenth century, David d'Angers cultivated friendships with an array of contemporary artists, writers, scientists, and politicians ? from Honoré de Balzac and Niccolity, and the representation of history. they reveal David d'Angers's quest to redefine the notion of a monument in a period marked by intense historicism and the ever-accelerating rhythms of modernity.'
