The International Exhibition - marble chimneypiece, by Leclercq, in the Belgian Court... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition - marble chimneypiece, by Leclercq, in the Belgian Court - from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, 1862. This is unquestionably a work of very great excellence and beauty, and is in that just style which commands admiration...The side supports are chimeras, terminated above in goats heads and pier brackets blended into the female form. These latter supporting members are worthy of very careful consideration in view of their beauty and the excellent manner in which architectural supporting members are blended with the figures. A staylike armour appears as the dress of the figure, which, by its indurate character, ig admirably suited to bring about the union of the animal body with the more solid stone. The Italian scrollwork, with its tenderness of treatment and justness, the mouldings so fully suited to their positions, and the general massing out of the work, may be separately studied with advantage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricate details of "The International Exhibition - marble chimneypiece, by Leclercq," which was displayed in the Belgian Court during the 1862 exhibition in London. The chimneypiece, created by the renowned Belgian sculptor, Alphonse-Charles-Pierre Leclercq, is a masterpiece of marble craftsmanship. The side supports of the chimneypiece are intricately carved as chimeras, featuring goats' heads and pier brackets seamlessly blended into the female form. The female figures, serving as the supporting members, are a sight to behold. Their delicate beauty is accentuated by the armored dress, which effectively merges the human form with the solid stone. The Italian scrollwork adorning the chimneypiece is a testament to the tenderness of Leclercq's treatment and his exceptional skill in justly positioning the mouldings. The general massing out of the work is a marvel to observe, showcasing the harmonious blend of art and architecture.
