After François Girardon (French 1628-1715): The Abduction of Proserpine by Pluto, brown patinated bronze, 102cms high overall, base 36 x 38cms.NB François Girardon was a sculptor widely regarded for his statuary in the gardens of Versailles. Girardon lived and apprenticed in Rome for a period, and although the artist preferred classicism and ancient Roman sculpture, he often worked in the Baroque style.Louis XIV commissioned Girardon to create one of four monumental marble groups intended to decorate the corners of Charles Le Brun's never-completed garden at Versailles, the Parterre d'Eau. Each group of three figures symbolized one of the four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. Pluto's association with Hell made him an apt symbol of fire.Girardon's marble was reproduced as a small bronze from the late seventeenth century onwards.This figural group exemplifies the movement, vibrancy, and energy highly regarded at the time. Girardon's design is perfected by not only the twist of the composition, but also the classical clarity of the figures.The Wallace Collection in London, the Louvre, Windsor Castle and the Getty Museum in Malibu own identical pieces in varying sizes but this example is amongst the largest examples.

After the Antique; The Dying Gaul, patinated bronze, 15 x 8 x 7cms high.Notes:The Dying Gaul, also called The Dying Galatian or The Dying Gladiator, is an ancient Roman marble semi-recumbent statue now in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. It is a copy of a now lost sculpture from the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) thought to have been made in bronze. The original may have been commissioned at some time between 230 and 220 BC by Attalus I of Pergamon to celebrate his victory over the Galatians, the Celtic or Gaulish people of parts of Anatolia. The original sculptor is believed to have been Epigonus, a court sculptor of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon.Until the 20th Century the marble statue was usually known as The Dying Gladiator, on the assumption that it depicted a wounded gladiator in a Roman amphitheatre. However, in the mid-19th Century it was re-identified as a Gaul or Galatian and the present name "Dying Gaul" gradually achieved popular acceptance. The identification as a "barbarian" was evidenced for the figure's torc, thick hair and mustache, weapons and shield carved on the floor, and a type of Gallic carnyx between his legs

Byron Howard (b.1947): "Barbirolli's Hands"/"Rarely, Rarely, Cometh Thou Spirit of Delight", modelled as the music conductor Sir John Barbirolli's hands outstretched and in motion, with verse inscribed on the composer's cuff, patinated bronze on a marble plinth, with brass plaque, limited edition 2/6, 42cms long, 31cms high x 32cms wide.Provenance: Purchased by Mr and Mrs Brown from the Artist's studio in Fishlake near Doncaster in 2005. With certificate of authenticity.The artist Byron Howard attended Doncaster School of Art in the late 1970s/early 1980s which was run by the above Ken Brown. So impressed was the staff that Byron was invited to take the sculpture class himself. Byron was later invited by Lady Barbirolli to produce a bronze bust of Sir John which now is sited outside Manchester Free Trade Hall in recognition of Sir John in setting up and conducting the Halle Orchestra. Mr and Mrs Brown would attend the concerts conducted by Sir John in the 1950s, a connection which also attracted them to the sculpture.
Lot 1264
After the Antique: Apollo Belvedere, patinated bronze, on marble base, 25cms high.Note: The Apollo Belvedere (also called the Belvedere Apollo, Apollo of the Belvedere, or Pythian Apollo) is a celebrated marble sculpture from classical antiquity. The Apollo is now thought to be an original Roman creation of Hadrianic date (c. 120–140 AD), though in a Hellenistic style. The distinctively Roman footwear is one reason scholars believe it is not a copy of an original Greek statue. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century during the Italian Renaissance and was placed on semi-public display in the Vatican Palace in 1511, where it remains. It is now in the Cortile del Belvedere of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex.
