French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution News Release The Metropolitan Museum of Art Communications Department 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10028-0198 tel (212) 570-3951 fax (212) 472-2764 [email protected] For Immediate Release Contacts: Elyse Topalian Mary Flanagan Spectacular French Bronzes on View at Metropolitan Museum in Exhibition Spanning Renaissance and Age of Enlightenment Exhibition dates: February 24–May 24, 2009 Exhibition location: Special Exhibition Galleries, first floor Press preview: Monday, February 23, 10:00 a.m.–noon Beginning in the 16th century, a tradition of bronze sculpture developed in France that was influenced by achievements of the Italian Renaissance, while manifesting its own distinct refinement and force. Even though French bronzes were among the glories of royal châteaux, including Versailles, and were collected eagerly by connoisseurs, they have received relatively little scrutiny from scholars. Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution , on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, brings together a large number of spectacular bronzes and is the first exhibition to address this subject in 40 years. Approximately 125 of the finest statuettes, portrait busts, and monuments reveal the French genius for bronze from the late Renaissance through the times of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI. Jean Goujon, Germain Pilon, Barthélemy Prieur, Pierre I. Biard, Michel Anguier, François Girardon, Antoine Coysevox, Jean- Baptiste Pigalle, and Jean-Antoine Houdon are among the masters featured in the exhibition who lent their prodigious talents to the medium. The exhibition is made possible by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation. (more) Cast in Bronze Page 2 The exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Musée du Louvre, Paris, and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Evolving from a decade-long collaborative study by curators and other scholars, Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution is the first exhibition in a museum to display this rich array of achievements spanning the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment. It features works from spectacular collections, including, most generously, the Musée du Louvre; the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle; the museums of Dresden; and many provincial museums of France. Many of the works in the exhibition have rarely been seen in the United States. Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution is divided into periods in which French accomplishments in modeling, casting, and chasing bronze sculpture, from monuments to statuettes, were most prominent. Mannerist style, inaugurated in the reign of François I, was carried to triumphant heights under Henry II. The reign of Henri IV witnessed the formation of a robust Baroque style that crystallized during the rule of Louis XIV, the Sun King, whose rule is gloriously reflected in a series of masterpieces. In the 18th century, a new and highly attractive rationalism developed during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. Many bronzes made for the French crown were melted down during political upheavals, but canonical works of the Renaissance and later periods survive intact, or in fascinating fragments. (more) Cast in Bronze Page 3 The vast expertise and range of experimentation in composition, workmanship, and detail that sculptors brought to their metal masterworks are on display. Highlights of the exhibition include Germain Pilon’s relief, the Lamentation over the Dead Christ , Pierre I. Biard’s Fame , Jean Goujon’s Tomb Effigy of André Blondel de Rocquencourt , and Jean-Antoine Houdon’s Diana , all from the Musée du Louvre; Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne’s Louis XV Standing on a Shield Borne by Soldiers , François Dumont’s Prometheus , and Guillaume Coustou’s Julius Caeser from the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle; and François Lespingola’s The Infant Hercules Strangling the Serpent from the Museum Abegg-Stiftung, Switzerland. Additionally, equestrian statues that were the glory of Louis XIV’s reign are on view. The geniuses of the age of Louis XV are celebrated in The French Parnassus (Musée National de Versailles), a monumental work that depicts a vertiginous gathering of writers, poets, and artists, topped by Apollo, the Graces, and Pegasus. The French Parnassus -- which was begun by Louis Garnier and completed by Augustin Pajou -- is specially installed in the Metropolitan’s Carroll and Milton Petrie European Sculpture Court for the duration of the exhibition. At the Metropolitan Museum, the exhibition is organized by Ian Wardropper, Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Chairman, and James David Draper, Henry R. Kravis Curator, both of the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution will be accompanied by a fully illustrated comprehensive catalogue written by a team of international scholars. Published by Musée du Louvre Éditions and Somogy Art Publishers in both French and English, the catalogue will be available in the Metropolitan Museum’s book shops ($85 hardcover). (more) Cast in Bronze Page 4 A variety of educational programs will accompany the exhibition.

Louis XIV: Art as Persuasion Supporting the Dominance of France in 17th Century Europe Matthew D. Noblett 11/30/10 Dr. James Hutson ART 55400.31 Lindenwood University Noblett 1 In 17th century France there was national funding combined with strict controls placed on the arts and all areas of the administration of Louis XIV. This was imperative to present the country as one of the greatest European powers of its time. It was done by creating personas of Louis as the Sun King, sole administrator of France or “'L'etat c' est moi” (I am the State) and conqueror. All were reinforced and often invented in rigid confines through state funded propaganda. His name has become synonymous with the French arts of the 17th century through significant investments in all forms of media, from poetry, music and theatre to painting, sculpture and architecture.

  • This Exquisite Bronze Group Portrays the French Queen Marie Leczinska (1703-1768), Wife of King Louis XV (1710-1774), As The
    MARIE LECZINSKA AS JUNO Bronze, on ormolu base Late 18th – early 19th Century, After a model by Guillaume Coustou the Elder (1677-1746) H 76 cm (with base) H 30 in This exquisite bronze group portrays the French Queen Marie Leczinska (1703-1768), wife of King Louis XV (1710-1774), as the Roman goddess Juno, the protectress and special counselor of the state. The qu een is depicted draped in the robes of a classical goddess and standing on a cloud. In her right hand she is holding the Crown of France, while a putto on her left offers her a scepter. Her right hand rests on a shield sporting the coat of arms of the French Monarchy. A peacock, Juno’s sacred animal, is sitting at her feet, curiously looking around. The deified queen is presented in a very individualized and youthful manner with extraordinary vividness and great charm. www.nicholaswells.com This group was closely modeled after a life-size marble original by Guillaume Coustou the Elder (1677-1746), that is currently part of the collection of sculptures of the Louvre (MR 1813) after having adorned a great number of royal residences throughout its existence. The original marble version of the group was commissioned in 1725, probably by the Directeur général des Bâtiments du Roi, the Duke of Antin. Guillaume Coustou the Elder seems to have been the logical choice for the project, since, at the time, his elder brother Nicolas had already started working on a pendant composition representing Louis XV as Jupiter (Louvre, MR 1811). For creating Marie Leczinska as Juno The Duchess of Burgundy as Diana, Coustou took some inspiration from the 1710, French, marble, by A.

  • Sculpture and Modernity in Europe, 1865-1914
    ARTH 17 (02) S c u l p t u r e a n d M o d e r n i t y i n E u r o p e , 1 8 6 5 - 1 9 1 4 Professor David Getsy Department of Art History, Dartmouth College Spring 2003 • 11 / 11.15-12.20 Monday Wednesday Friday / x-hour 12.00-12.50 Tuesday office hours: 1.30-3.00 Wednesday / office: 307 Carpenter Hall c o u r s e d e s c r i p t i o n This course will examine the transformations in figurative sculpture during the period from 1865 to the outbreak of the First World War. During these years, sculptors sought to engage with the rapidly evolving conditions of modern society in order to ensure sculpture’s relevance and cultural authority. We will examine the fate of the figurative tradition in the work of such sculptors as Carpeaux, Rodin, Leighton, Hildebrand, Degas, Claudel, and Vigeland. In turn, we will evaluate these developments in relation to the emergence of a self-conscious sculptural modernism in the work of such artists as Maillol, Matisse, Brancusi, Gaudier-Brzeska, and Picasso. In addition to a history of three-dimensional representation in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, this course will also introduce the critical vocabularies used to evaluate sculpture and its history. s t r u c t u r e o f t h e c o u r s e Each hour session will consist of lectures and discussions of images, texts, and course themes.
