Here is a very nice bronze horse racing statue that will appeal to several different kinds of collector. Those who love bronze statues depicting sporting scenes will love its links to the royal sport of horseracing.

Horse lovers in general will appreciate the fine detail shown in the working of both the horse and its jockey. We also know that many collectors choose pieces specifically about horse racing so this one is definitely suitable for them.

This is quite a large bronze statue and is certain to be the centre of attention wherever you choose to place it.

Pierre Jules Mene, (1810 -1879) was a notable French Sculptor, considered by many to be the pioneer of animal sculpture in the nineteenth-century.

Mene produced numerous animal sculptures, mainly of domestic animals such as horses, cows and bulls, sheep, goats and so on - all very much in vogue during the Second Empire. He was one of a "school of French animalieres" which also included Pierre Louis Rouillard, Antoine-Louis Barye, and Francois Pompon. Mene' himself specialised in small bronze figures.

Lost Wax Method
sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.

In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
 

Pierre Jules Mene'
(1810 -1879) was a French Sculptor and animalier. He is considered to be the pioneer of animal sculpture in the nineteenth-century.

He produced a number of animal sculptures, mainly of domestic animals like horses, cows and bulls, sheep, goats, etc., which were in vogue during the Second Empire. He was one of a "school of French animalieres" which also included Pierre Louis Rouillard, Antoine-Louis Barye, and Francois Pompon. Mene' himself specialized in small bronze figures which explains why none of his works exist as public statuary.

 

His work was a popular success with the bourgeois class and many editions of each sculpture were made, often to decorate the increasingly private homes of the period. The quality of these works is high, comparable to Barye's. Mene' also seems to have enjoyed a longer period of success and celebrity than his contemporaries. He is considered to have been the Lost-wax casting expert of his time, later surpassed only by Auguste Rodin.
