        Nov. 14, 2023

        Jules Bertin (French, 1826 - 1892) Large Bronze

        Est: $2,000 - $10,000

        DESCRIPTION: Large Napoleon III period bronze sculpture by Jules Bertin. The sculpture personifies Paris—or Liberty, in the Republican vein. The context for understanding the work is in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, when France lost her eastern provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to Prussia. In the sculpture, the figure of French Liberty stands triumphantly atop a globe depicting the eastern regions of France, signifying that one day France will regain her lost territories. The work is deftly carved, with Lady Liberty wrought in a classicism style. The sculpture is set atop an octagonal base inscribed ‘Alsace’, ‘R.F’ (for République Française), and ‘Lorraine’. The bronze is signed ‘Jules Bertin / Paris / 1879’ CIRCA: Late 19th Cent. ORIGIN: France DIMENSIONS: H: 53.5" W: 22" CONDITION: Great Condition
