EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Ten pointed stag floored by two Scottish greyhounds" transports us back to the 19th century. Crafted by Antoine Louis Barye in the mid-1800s, this masterpiece stands at a height of 34 cm and is now held in a private collection. The scene depicted here captures an intense moment of nature's raw power and primal instinct. Two majestic Scottish greyhounds have successfully brought down a ten-pointed stag, showcasing their remarkable hunting prowess. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition - from the intricate antlers adorning the stag's head to the muscular form and determination etched onto each dog. Barye's skillful craftsmanship breathes life into these bronze figures, allowing us to witness this dramatic encounter frozen in time. The sculpture bears his signature twice along with the number seven, indicating its authenticity and origin. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of mankind's age-old fascination with both domesticated and wild animals. It serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature and our desire to capture its essence through art. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic merit or find yourself drawn into the intensity of the hunt portrayed within it, this sculpture continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation.
