BRONZE SCULPTURE OF A BULL, A. L. BARYE, 1870
Bronze sculpture of a bull by the French sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye, made circa 1870.
An exceptional example of classical bronze realism, the bull is depicted in a tense, almost aggressive stance, with strongly modelled muscles that highlight the mastery of this renowned sculptor. The bronze surface has a rich patina that enhances the realistic details, while the solid marble base provides elegance and stability. This sculpture is an outstanding decorative piece that combines the dynamic energy of an animal figure with classical sculptural tradition, allowing you to bring into your home a work by one of the most celebrated French sculptors of the 19th century.
Antoine-Louis Barye (1795–1875) was one of the most important French sculptors of the 19th century, best known for his bronze animal sculptures. He is considered a pioneer of the so-called animalier movement. His works are recognised for their exceptional anatomical accuracy, dramatic compositions, and technical perfection in bronze. Barye greatly influenced the development of sculpture in his time and remains regarded as one of the greatest masters of animal figures.

A vintage box used to store the rosary, often given as a gift for the first communion.

The prayer of the rosary took shape at the end of the 16th century and consisted of 3 parts of 50 Hail Marys each. This form remained unchanged until the end of the 20th century when Pope John Paul II added a fourth - luminous part.
