1873 Antique Jules Moigniez Bronze Sculpture Falcon Hawk Statue 29lbs

Description: This listing is for an antique bronze sculpture by artist Jules Moigniez, circa 1873. It is mounted on a marble base. It is approximately 25" tall, 17" wide at the wings, and 10" in diameter at the base. It weighs approximately 29 lbs. It depicts a falcon hunting a smaller bird. Jules Moigniez was born in Senlis sur L'Oise, France in 1835 and died in Saint-Martin-du-Teire, France on May 29, 1894. The son of a metal gilder, Moigniez was a student of Paul Comolera. Moigniez debuted at the Exposition Universelle in 1855 with Pointer, Pheasant, Falcon and Weasel each in plaster. Moigniez contributed regularly to the Paris Salon from 185992 during which he exhibited over 30 sculptures including Pointer, Pheasant, Falcon and Weasel in bronze. Moigniez was awarded an honorable mention at the Salon and received a medal in London at the Great Exposition in 1862. Moigniez lived most of his life in Paris. During his career, Moigniez was widely popular in France, England and America. His bronzes were most decorative, particularly those of game birds. Moigniez also sculpted dogs, farm animals and equestrian groups. Moigniez's dogs reflected the "naturalism" style of Pierre Jules Mene. Moigniezs bird sculptures were reminiscent of paintings by deHondecoeter, Casteels and Snyders. Moigniezs sculptures of birds reflect dynamic movement as if captured through a high-speed photographic portrait. Moigniez bronzes were edited, cast, by the foundry his father opened in 1857. A wide variety of patinations, including silver plate, golden bronze and gilding were unique to these lifetime casts. After Moigniezs death, most of his bronzes were cast by A. Gouge, who also edited most of Comolera's sculptures. Please see the photos as they are part of the description and feel free to message me with any questions.
