Magnificent gilded reglet sculpture of La Victoire by the celebrated French sculptor Hippolyte François Moreau, a prominent member of the Moreau artistic dynasty. This winged female allegory embodies triumphant victory, brandishing a raised torch in a gesture of celebration and light.

The details of the drapery, the delicacy of the wings and the expression on the face testify to the artist's exceptional skill.

A rare collector's item, combining symbolic power and plastic beauty, ideal for lovers of 19th-century academic art and French decorative sculpture.

Hippolyte François Moreau was a French sculptor born in Dijon in 1832, member of a famous dynasty of artists, son of sculptor Jean-Baptiste Moreau and brother of sculptors Auguste and Mathurin Moreau. He belongs to the great tradition of 19th-century French academic sculpture.

Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1863, where he received several distinctions for the quality of his work. Hippolyte Moreau is best known for his bronze and regule sculptures of female figures, allegories, pastoral and mythological scenes, often in the graceful, romantic style so popular in his day.

His works, blending finesse, elegance and expressiveness, are still sought after today by collectors and lovers of 19th-century decorative art. He died in 1927, leaving behind an important artistic legacy, often signed "H. Moreau".
