Manner of Jacques~Louis Gautier, (French b.1831), two patinated and parcel gilt bronze figures, third quarter 19th century, possibly intended as encriers or desk stands, one cast as Mephistopheles standing with his arms crossed, a set of bellows held in his left hand, a three legged cauldron with removable lid beside him on the circular base; the other as a blindfolded man, possibly Faustus or MacBeth, his hands raised to feel his way, a broomstick and a pail beneath him on the circular base 17 and 17.5cm high respectively CATALOGUE NOTES: These unusual bronzes are highly reminiscent of work by Gautier, whose bronze representations of Mephistopheles have the same slender and elongated limbs as the example here. Gautier created pairs of Mephistopheles and MacBeth, the blindness of the latter's descent into evil being compared with that of Dr Faustus and indeed the similarities are recognised in literary criticism. Gautier's better known casts of MacBeth have him holding a broomstick -an attribute suggesting the role of the witches in his conversion, but unlike the blindfolded man here, Gautier's MacBeth has the same stylised and elongated limbs as Mephistopheles. The depiction of the blindfolded man here, in mundane attire and clogs is also puzzling, and indeed suggests that he might represent Faustus rather than MacBeth -In the second, lesser known part of the story of Dr Faustus he is blinded, which of course explains the blindfold. And as for the clogs, when Faustus is blinded he is living on reclaimed land, acquired with the help of Mephistopheles, who pushed back the sea with dams and dykes, and perhaps the clogs are indicative of this
