Old edition sculpture , period second half of the 19th century .
Bronze signed "P.J.MÊNE" in hollow , on the naturalist rectangular terrace , richly chiseled .
Perfect state of conservation and patina .

Dimensions : 16 cm x 34 cm

In Mene's work , the dog is the loved and pampered animal , studied and represented more than all the others .
If hunting is the axis of his work , the dog is its constitutive element for excellence .
In animal sculptures , Mene is the artist who has left us the most models of canines , all perfectly treated in a realistic manner , and represented with an artistic truth and anatomical rigor which will not weaken over the years .

Pierre - Jules Mêne (1810-1879)

Pierre - Jules Mene , is a French sculptor , born March 25 , 1810 in Paris , city where he died on May 20 1879 .

He is considered to be one of the main representatives of animal sculpture in the 19th century .
Pierre - Jules Mêne produced many animal sculptures , particularly in vogue under the Second Empire, like Antoine-Louis Barye , Auguste Caïn , Pierre Louis Rouillard and , later , François Pompon .

P.J Mene specialized in small bronzes, and did not produce work for public statuary .
His animal subjects have enjoyed great popular success .
Exclusive publisher of his works , the perfection of his productions is widely recognized .
He reveals himself , with Antoine-Louis Barye , as the one whose success has been the most constant , and this over the longest period .

Pierre - Jules Mene appears to be one of the best wax practitioners of his time .
