Bronze Arts Déco by Susse Frères P. Sylvestre

  

Superb, sensual, and mysterious artwork, whose themes are derived from Greek mythology: according to Homer, Zeus took the form of a swan to seduce Leda at night. The work is a great success as it brings out the enchanting and magical aspect of the beauty enchanted by the enigmatic bird! A French sculptor awarded the second grand prize as well as the Desprez prize, and then the first grand prize in Rome in 1912. He exhibited regularly from 1921 at the Salon of French Artists, where he received a gold medal in 1930. An honorary member of the Society of French Artists, he received a diploma of honor for the International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques of 1937 in Paris for his four steles adorning the facade of the Languedoc-Pyrénées pavilion.

He was appointed a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1906. The plaster casting (inscription on the sculpture) of this bronze gives it a raw, strikingly vital character. The cast iron is light - with the exact amount of metal required for casting - a guarantee of exceptional quality. It was produced in the workshops of Susse Frères (signature and stamp). The medal patina has a very beautiful appearance, giving a lot of authenticity to the piece.
