Jean-Léon Gérome (1824 Vesoul, Frankreich - 1904 Paris)

Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) war ein renommierter französischer Künstler, der für seine beeindruckenden Werke im Bereich der bildenden Kunst bekannt ist. Geboren in Vesoul, Frankreich, hinterließ er eine bedeutende künstlerische Erbschaft, die seine außergewöhnliche Fähigkeit zur Darstellung von Geschichten und historischen Szenen demonstriert. Ein seiner bekanntesten Werke ist die Bronzeplastik "Friedrich der Große". Diese Skulptur fängt die Haltung und den Charakter des preußischen Königs Friedrich II. (1712-1786), volkstümlich der "Alte Fritz" genannt, auf meisterhafte Weise ein. Gérôme gelang es, die Persönlichkeit Friedrichs des Großen durch feine Details in der Gestaltung der Skulptur zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Die sorgfältige Modellierung der Gesichtszüge, die präzise Wiedergabe der königlichen Kleidung und die veristische Darstellung des Pferdes vermitteln ein Gefühl von Stärke und königlicher Würde. Die Bronzeplastik "Friedrich der Große" ist nicht nur ein Tribut an einer bedeutenden historischen Figur, sondern auch ein Beweis für Gérômes herausragendes Talent als Bildhauer. Durch die Kombination von technischer Finesse, künstlerischer Sensibilität und einem tiefen Verständnis für Geschichte schuf Gérôme ein Kunstwerk, das eine der wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten der europäischen Geschichte des 18. Jahrhunderts ehrt und der Nachwelt zu präsentiert.





Jean-Léon Gérome (1824 Vesoul, France - 1904 Paris)
'Frederick the Great', bronze, golden brown patinated, 80 cm x 81 cm, signed in the casting, foundry stamp 'Siot. Fondeur. Paris', casting number Z951, partially minimal traces of corrosion, light superficial scratches, residues of a former polychrome paint setting, literature: Cat. rais. Ackerman S48

Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) was a renowned French artist known for his impressive works in the visual arts. Born in Vesoul, France, he left a significant artistic legacy that demonstrates his exceptional ability to depict stories and historical scenes. One of his most famous works is the bronze sculpture ''Frederick the Great''. This sculpture masterfully captures the posture and character of the Prussian King Frederick II (1712-1786), popularly known as the ''Old Fritz''. Gérôme succeeded in expressing Frederick the Great's personality through fine details in the sculpture's design. The careful modelling of the facial features, the precise rendering of the royal clothing and the veristic depiction of the horse convey a sense of strength and royal dignity. The bronze sculpture ''Frederick the Great'' is not only a tribute to an important historical figure, but also a testament to Gérôme's outstanding talent as a sculptor. By combining technical finesse, artistic sensitivity and a deep understanding of history, Gérôme created a work of art that honours and presents to posterity one of the most important figures in 18th century European history.
