Antique French Terra Cotta Bust from Dinard, Dated 1912
About the Item
This terra cotta bust of a monsignor from Dinard, France is signed by the artist with the accompanying date of 1912. An engraving under the left shoulder indicates that the bust was a gift to a Monsignor Blanchet, a well-respected parish priest of Dinard. Msgr Blanchet is depicted wearing a four peak biretta with a mounted tuft. He is also clad in a cassock with an ornate embellishment of flowers and a scrolled motif. In the back is a small hood above lace frill that is attached to the vestment trim. Supported by a rectangular base, our terra cotta bust from Dinard shows excellent proportion and realistic detail. It would look fantastic in a small niche or sitting on a console or center table.

Notice how each feather has been carved with incredible detail, showing slight separations in the barbs that make up feathers. The eagle is presented with wings displayed, as if in the midst of flight. Both legs are tucked under the body, as you might see on a gliding bird. The beak is open with a large hole that runs through to the back side, possibly indicating that at one time the eagle held something in its mouth. When Napoleon became Emperor of the French in 1804, he brought about a striking shift in artwork and architecture, embracing the styles of ancient empires...Category
