Diverse Artistic Figures

Sculptures and statues represent a variety of cultures and styles, from guardian kings to abstract dancer forms and shadow puppets.

Dancer Putting on Her Stocking (First State) modeled probably ca. 1896-1912, cast 1920 Edgar Degas French Upon Degas's death in 1917, more than 150 figurative sculptures were found in his studio. Most were made of fragile wax, clay, and plastiline (a wax- and oil-based modeling material). Many had deteriorated. Only a few were preserved in copies that had been cast from them in plaster. Except for the wax Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer (Washington: NGA) none of these sculptures had been publicly exhibited during the artists lifetime.Although Degas had not favored reproducing his sculptures in more permanent materials, his heirs authorized that copies be cast in bronze in order to preserve the compositions and to sell them as finished works. Paul-Albert Bartholomé, a sculptor and Degas's longtime friend, prepared 72 of the figures for casting, a process executed by the distinguished Paris foundry A.-A. Hébrard et Cie. The quality of the Degas bronzes was tightly controlled and their e

Shaft-hole axe head with bird-headed demon, boar, and dragon ca. late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C. Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex Ancient Bactria and Margiana were areas along the Oxus and Murghab rivers in modern Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. While these areas were sparsely inhabited during much of the third millennium B.C., by about 2200 B.C. permanent settlements with distinctive forms of architecture, burial practices, and material culture had been established, supported in part by active trade with parts of Iran, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley.This silver-gilt shaft-hole axe is a masterpiece of three-dimensional and relief sculpture. Expertly cast and gilded with foil, it represents a bird-headed hero grappling with a wild boar and a winged dragon. The idea of the heroic bird-headed creature probably came from western Iran, where it is first documented on a cylinder seal impression. The hero's muscular body is human except for the bird talons that replace t

The Mountain Man 1903, cast by March 1907 Frederic Remington American Equal parts trapper and explorer, the Rocky Mountain man played a central role in the North American fur trade, which reached its peak in the 1830s and 1840s. He assumed heroic stature as the quintessential Euro-American Westerner, later supplanted in the public imagination by the cowboy. "The Mountain Man" depicts a dramatic moment in the daily life of a buckskin-clad trapper in which he and his mount work together to descend a precarious slope, harmoniously prevailing over the wilderness. Cast by New Yorks Roman Bronze Works foundry in the lost-wax technique, the earliest "Mountain Man" statuettes are sharply delineated with a rich variety of textures, from the fringed buckskin garment to the animals hairy coat to the rocklike base.

The Last Arrow 1879-80, cast 1880 Randolph Rogers American The "Last Arrow" was created in Rome, where expatriate American sculptors were drawn by the ready availability of statuary marble and access to skilled craftsmen. Most of Rogerss sculptures were marble, but he occasionally worked in bronze. "The Last Arrow" is a hybrid of sorts: a Neoclassical approach to form is exemplified by the lower figure, whose pose is reminiscent of that of the "Dying Gaul" (Roman copy after Greek original, ca. 230-220 b.c.), yet Rogerss cosmopolitan patrons could easily identify the subject as American. "The Last Arrow" offers a twist on the Native American combat subject—here the arrow-induced gash on the chest of the fallen warrior suggests that it was the result of intertribal warfare. The man on horseback, positioned to release his final arrow, is a metaphor for bravery and resistance, regardless of foe.. The Last Arrow 11950

Firedog (Jupiter Victorious over the Titans) (chenet) (one of a pair). Artist: After models by Alessandro Algardi (Italian, Bologna 1598-1654 Rome). Culture: probably Italian. Dimensions: Height: 45 1/2 in. (115.6 cm). Date: 18th century.According to the prominent biographer of artists Giovanni Pietro Bellori (1613-1696), the Baroque sculptor Alessandro Algardi, active in Rome, modeled a set of four firedogs representing the four elements in the guise of mythological figures. Commissioned for Philip IV, king of Spain, the models were created not long before the artist's death, in 1654. Two of the designs, the figures of Jupiter and Juno as fire and air--a symbolism quite appropriate to their use as firedogs--were executed on a reduced scale for the French court, both in silver and in bronze. Firedogs of this exuberant model, which create a sense of movement and are interesting in the round, also found a market among the French aristocracy and are listed in late seventeenth- and eighte

Dog ca. 9th-8th century B.C. Assyrian Cast in bronze, this figurine represents a dog with head thrust forward in a posture of alertness, pointed ears pricked up, and curled tail. The dog stands solidly on all four feet, suggesting it is keeping watch rather than in motion. The legs are relatively short and the body compact, suggesting a dog smaller than the mastiffs sometimes represented as guard dogs in Mesopotamian art, such as the large terracotta sculpture on display in the museum (1989.233). This small bronze was found in a well in the Northwest Palace at Nimrud along with other bronze dogs, finely carved ivory furniture elements, and other palace furnishings. It is likely that these objects were thrown in the well by the conquering armies who looted the palace during the final defeat of Assyria by a coalition of Babylonians and Iranian peoples in 612 B.C.Dogs were associated with several Mesopotamian gods, especially the healing goddess Gula.

Singer for the Monkey Band 1760-1770 Meissen. In 1733, the sculptor Johann Joachim Kndler became the chief modeler at the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, a position he held until his death in 1775. Kndler, along with his assistant Peter Reinicke, devised novel and innovative forms and figures for Meissen porcelain. One of the most admired products of the factory were the monkey bands, witty examples of 18th-century singerie subjects in which monkeys literally ìapeî the behavior of supposedly more sophisticated humans.The first version of the monkey band was designed in 1753 and Madame de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV of France and a discerning patron of the arts, ordered a set at Christmas of that year. The group was so popular that it was reissued in the early 1760s. The Art Instituteís monkey band comes from this second edition.In addition to a conductor and two female singers, the orchestra consists of musicians playing wind, string, and percussion instruments.

Pacing Horse mid-17th century After a model by Giambologna Netherlandish The horse's tail is separately cast below the fancy braiding. This is one of a number of reproductions of a preliminary model by Giovanni Bologna. About 1581, he first contemplated sculpting a colossal horse derived from the famous ancient equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius on the Campidoglio, Rome, and this plan gradually resulted in the equestrian monument of Cosimo I de Medidi erected in 1594 in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence.[James D.

The Astana Graves are a series of underground tombs located 6km from the ancient city of Gaochang, and 42km from Turpan, in Xinjiang, China. The tombs were used by the inhabitants of Gaochang, both commoners and locals, for about 600 years from 200 CE - 800 CE. The complex covers 10 square kilometers and contains over 1,000 tombs. Different plots for separate castes and families are marked by gravel dividers. Due to the arid environment many important artifacts have been well preserved at the tombs, including natural mummies. A typical tomb is entered by a 10 meter sloping staircase. The tombs are not very large, usually only 2 meters high. Some tombs also have murals inside. The deceased were laid on a small raised platform in the back of the tomb, surrounded by possessions and even food. Their faces were covered by cloths, some of which have distinct Persian motifs. A small funeral brick was placed to next to each body, on which was written the person's name and other biographical in

Return of the Prodigal Son by Antonio Montauti, bronze, 18th century

The Mouse Catchers ca. 1745-50 Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory Genre sculpture at Capodimonte has a directness and reality quite distinct from that produced at other Continental porcelain factories. Capodimonte figures are not the picturesque street peddlers of Edme Bouchardons Cris de Paris; nor are they the idealized lovers and children inspired by Boucher, J. E. Nilson, and their followers. They are, rather, genuine peasants, tradesmen, and young couples encountering daily life, portrayed unsentimentally but with sympathy and humor. In this group, one of only two known examples of the model, the routing of mice from a linen chest is depicted in a manner in which energy and apprehension are charmingly combined. From the modeling of the figures with their small heads, and the spare painting, it would seem that the group dates from the early period of the factorys work and perhaps anticipates a later one in a similar vein, the Rabbit Catchers..
