* Mene (Pierre Jules, 1810-1877). Stag by a tree, bronze, signed P.J. Mene on base, 220 x 250mm (9 x 9.75ins) Mene was arguably the most successful and prolific animalier sculptor of his time. He was largely self-taught, although his father was a successful metal turner, and taught his son the principles of casting at an early age. By 1837 Mene had established the first of his many foundries. He exhibited one or two bronzes every year at the Salon, winning several medals there, as well as being awarded First Class Medals at the London Exhibitions of 1855 and 1861. Mene drew the finest craftsmen to work for him and his home became a fashionable meeting place for the painters, sculptors and musicians of Paris. In 1861 he was awarded the Cross of the Legion d`Honneur in recognition for his contributions to art. His bronzes were cast with the utmost attention to quality, detail and workmanship. Mene made sure that all the models and casts were kept in perfect condition so that the last bronze cast in an edition was just as sharp and detailed as the first, and in doing so set the standard for all other foundries.
