Item Details
Description
Ernest Rancoulet, (French 1870 - 1915): A patinated bronze figure grouping, La Recompense (The Reward). Cast with the figure of Fortune standing on a winged wheel and offering a cornucopia to the male figure, allegorical of industry and agriculture. His right hand and foot resting on a plough, the naturalistic circular base cast with an artist's palette, a pair of calipers, a book and a cog, all symbolic of man's achievements. Titled on the attached plate, and signed on the edges of the book, Rancoulet. 34H x 20W. Rancoulet is known for his bronze allegorical, mythological, and figurative statuettes and portrait busts. One of his most well-known works is Hercules, Athena and Cerbere, depicting the twelfth labor of Hercules as he captures the three-headed dog guarding the underworld. Ernest Rancoulet's sculptures were in pure classical styling, yet they captured elements of Art Nouveau with their delineation of motion and movement, particularly of the female form. Ernest Rancoulet's statues are highly prized for their realism, grace, and intricate detailing.
