THEODORE RIVIERE (1857 – 1912): CARTHAGE, PATINATED GILT BRONZE SCULPTURE depicting Mathô, the chief of the Barbarian soldiers, dying at the feet of Salammbô, signed THEODORE RIVIERE, CARTHAGE, inscribed Susse Fres Edtr with stamp Susse Freres Editeurs Paris 41cm high Théodore Rivière was one of the leading Orientalist sculptors. He not only drew on literary texts but travelled extensively in North Africa, the Far East and South America. The subject of this work was taken from Gustave Flaubert’s novel, Salammbô, published in 1862. The story takes place between 241–238 BC, during the revolt of Carthage. The Libyan chief Mâthô, fell in love with the priestess Salammbô, the daughter of his Carthaginian enemy Hamilcar Barca. Rivière has chosen the moment when, mortally wounded by the people, Mâthô dies at the feet of Salammbô claiming “I love you! I love you!” The figure of Salammbô, the femme fatale swathed in jewels, inspired many other Symbolist artists. The statuette created a sensation at the Salon of 1895. A bronze and ivory version is housed in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.
