Bronze sculpture with brown patina. Signed at the base: "Chapu". -- Height: c. 33 cm; width: c. 25 cm. Weight: 6,996 kg. || This bronze sculpture depicts the French heroine Joan of Arc, in a moment of contemplation or prayer. The figure is seated on the ground, kneeling with her legs tucked underneath her. Her hands are clasped in front of her, resting on her lap, suggesting a gesture of devotion or reflection. She is dressed in a simple medieval-style tunic with a fitted bodice, short sleeves, and a modest skirt, which drapes naturally around her legs. Her hair is styled in a single braid that falls over her shoulder, and she wears a headscarf that reflects the historical attire of her time. The detail and craftsmanship highlight her youthful yet resolute character, capturing her as both a spiritual figure and a historical icon. || Henri Chapu (1833-1891) was a renowned French sculptor associated with the academic and neoclassical styles. Born in Le Mée-sur-Seine, Chapu trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and honed his craft under the mentorship of sculptor James Pradier. He won the prestigious ,Prix de Rome" in 1855, which allowed him to study in Italy, where he was deeply influenced by classical art. Chapu became widely celebrated for his delicate yet powerful sculptures, often blending realism with idealism. Among his notable works are his depictions of Joan of Arc, which show her as a humble, contemplative figure in prayer. This particular portrayal of Joan contrasts with many idealized or martial depictions, focusing instead on her piety and humanity. Chapu also created numerous works for public monuments and cemeteries, including funerary art, portrait busts, and allegorical figures. His contributions to French sculpture earned him significant acclaim during his lifetime, and his works continue to be celebrated today. // Wir, das Antiquariat Steffen Völkel, kaufen und verkaufen alte Bücher, Handschriften, Zeichnungen, Autographen, Grafiken und Fotografien.
