Univers du Bronze
François Pompon (Saulieu 1855-1933 Paris) Bust of André Leproust, 1904 Salon des Artistes français in 1904, n° 3228 Original plaster H 57.4 x W 22.5 x D 22.8 cm Unique piece signed 'F Pompon', dated '1904' Circa 1904 The bust of Pompon is the original plaster cast exhibited at the Salon in 1904 and is one of the rare examples of Pompon's 'classical' work just before he became the animal sculptor we know today. this work is in the same spirit as Cosette that was exhibited two years ago at BRAFA, a model with which he hoped to achieve great success in the late 1880s. André Leproust's bust is particularly modern, with its contrast between the very pure face and the lower part of the bust, where the material is very present. The flowers evoke both the innocence of the young boy and the Eure countryside where the model lived. Finally, the very narrow cut-out at the bottom of the bust lends a greater verticality and contributes to this modern élan.

Romigioli Antichità
Giovanni Baratta (Italy, 1670-1747) Pair of cherubs, 1699 Carrara marble H 72 cm Fragment recovered from the lost high altar of Santa Trinita in Florence, studied by Francesco Freddolini Provenance: Florence, Church of Santa Trinita until 1892 Literature: Francesco Freddolini, Journal of visual art Predella n° 53, June 2023 Pair of large (H 72 cm) and splendid statuary marble Cherubs by Giovanni Baratta (Carrara 1670 - 1747), they are the best expression of Florentine Baroque. Baratta, an artist of European fame, worked not only for the clergy but also for the most important Florentine aristocracy, including the Medici family. The two Cherubim are of historical and artistic significance because of their provenance; in fact, they are the only surviving element of the altar in the Santa Trinita church in Florence, the original location of Cimabue's Maestà. Their large size is obviously due to the fact that they were placed at the highest part of the altar and are portrayed in the act of kissing each other.
