Lot 0031
Émile Louis Picault – “Saint George”, Bronze Sculpture, Signed
Estimate: 1200-1500ۃmile Louis Picault (1833-1915)
Saint George
France, late 19th-early 20th century
Patinated bronze, cast and chased.
Signed E. PICAULT. on the base; titled SAINT GEORGE’S on the front cartouche. Height: 59 cm
A finely cast figure of Saint George shown standing in armor over the slain dragon. Conceived as a victorious knight rather than in the more usual equestrian mode, the saint is rendered with Picault’s characteristic taste for historical theatricality and elegant surface detail. The composition contrasts the calm, self-possessed stance of the hero with the twisting, animated form of the beast beneath his feet, creating a compact yet dramatic silhouette. The carefully articulated cuirass, chain mail, sword belt, and greaves reflect the sculptor’s refined academic manner and his interest in heroic and historicizing subjects. Mounted on an architectural stepped base, the present work is a characteristic example of Picault’s highly successful cabinet sculpture, produced for the late nineteenth-century collector’s market.
Émile Louis Picault was among the most prolific French sculptors of the late nineteenth century, best known for allegorical, patriotic, mythological, and martial subjects. Exhibiting at the Paris Salon from 1863, he achieved wide popularity for cabinet bronzes combining narrative clarity, decorative appeal, and strong sculptural finish.Starting price: 1000€
