Pair of black bronze panthers Art Deco sculptor - 20th century Inscription at the bottom on the tail Y. MONGNEZ Bronze worked using the lost-wax casting method Dimensions (cm): height 93 cm / depth 60 cm / width 30 cm Full details (click HERE) Pair of sculptures depicting panthers, large in size and of excellent workmanship, made of bronze using the lost-wax casting method and dating back to the 20th century, inspired by the design and subjects of the Art Deco period with an animalier style. The artist has captured with great skill the elegance and strength of the creatures, particularly fascinating for their realistic attention, and endowed with a remarkable sense of plasticity through the use of a modern design line. The works, of French manufacture, are inspired by the very famous creations of the sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti (Milan 1884 - Paris 1916), from Milan who moved to Paris and Antwerp, creator of the famous Walking Panther (Panthère marchant) around 1904. Still alive, he was particularly appreciated within artistic circles, as his animal sculptures documented a keen ability to observe and empathize with the subject depicted, inspiring many other colleagues. Many are the authors of the Art Deco period, especially French and Italian, who specialized and enjoyed great popularity for their animal models, especially exotic ones, including elephants and gazelles, with a particular predilection for predators such as panthers and lions.
