Lot 2799 | Jean Baptiste Clésinger
(1814 Besancon - 1883 Paris) Lebensgroße Büste einer jungen Römerin Weißer Carrara-Marmor. Signatur und datiert 1858 mit Ortsangabe Roma. Auf eine Säulenplinthe komponierte, lebensnahe Büste einer jungen Frau im Halbprofil mit zu Zöpfen geflochtenem Haar und mützenartig drapiertem Tuch. Clésinger gehörte zu den bedeutendsten Bildhauern in der Epoche Napoleon III.; 1843 debütierte er im Salon in Paris; 1847 provozierte er dort mit der lasziv-erotischen Marmorskulptur einer von einer Schlange gebissenen Frau (einer Darstellung seiner Geliebten Apollonie Sabatier, einer legendären Kurtisane und Muse) einen Skandal. In den 1840er-Jahren begann Clésinger eine intensive Freundschaft zu George Sand und Frédéric Chopin. Der renommierte und mit vielen Staatsaufträgen bedachte Bildhauer wurde 1849 Ritter und 1864 Offizier der Ehrenlegion. 1856-1864 lebt Clésinger in Rom, von wo aus er sich an den Ausstellungen des Pariser Salons beteiligte. Rückseitig ger. best.; Plinthe ger. restauriert; H. 75 cm. Large Carara marble bust of a young Roman woman. Signed and dated 1858 with location Rome. Minor chips to the backside, base insignificant restored.
