JAMES PRADIER (1790-1852) “La Toilette d’Atalante” Bronze Sculpture
Bronze sculpture by French artist James Pradier (1790-1852) depicts the Arcadian heroine Atalanta, a huntress who was allied with the goddess Artemis. From mythology, Atalanta would agree to marry the suitor that could outrun her. If they were to fail, however, they would be put to death. Praidier’s historical reputation as a most competent artist is exhibited on full display with this gorgeous neoclassical sculpture. This figure of Atalanta kneels against a base denoting Pradier’s signature and the Susse Foundry seal, offering a beautiful rendition of Pradier’s original marble masterpiece.
About the Artist:
Born Jean Jacques Pradier in the Republic of Geneva in 1790, James Pradier moved to Paris in 1807 for work before studying at the École des Beaux-Arts beginning in 1808. He won a Prix de Rome that enabled him to study in Rome from 1814 to 1818 at the Villa Medici and made his debut at the Salon in 1819, quickly acquiring a reputation as a talented artist. In 1827, he became a member of the Académie des beaux-arts and a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Pradier oversaw the finish of his sculptures himself and his workshop served as a meeting place for the artists of Paris. Pradier continued to work until his death in 1852, after which the contents of his studio were purchased by the city museum of Geneva.

Ichthyocentaur and Female Figure Carved Marble Sculpture
This statue is carved from white marble and depicts an ichthyocentaur grasping at a female nude, likely a depiction of the Greek god Triton and his consort, Libya. In Classical Greek art, the ichthyocentaur was a sea-being depicted as having the forelegs of a horse, the tail of a fish, and the upper body of a man and was often depicted as a mighty ruler of the ocean depths. Sold as is, this sculpture has had restoration work done to restore minor damage on its base.

LORENZO E. GHILIERI (1931-2020) Bronze Sculpture of Orcas Hunting
Circa 1977, this large bronze sculpture by American artist Lorenzo E. Ghilieri (1931-2020) depicts a pair of large orca whales bursting from the ocean in the midst of a hunt. This is a highly dramatic piece, heightened even further by the crashing waves Ghilieri has sculpted into the bronze. One of the most prolific sculptors of the American northwest, Ghilieri’s masterful attention to detail in this bronze is a testament to why his work has been held on permanent display at the White House and the Vatican. This is a large, magnificent piece of art that has patinated beautifully over the years and will feature prominently in any art collection.
