Description: Alfred Barye "Le Fils" or Alf Barye (Paris, France, 21 January 1839 – Paris, France, 1882) was a French sculptor, of the Belle Epoque, pupil of his father the artist Antoine-Louis Barye. At his father's request, he signed his work as "fils" to differentiate his work from his father's. This spectacular bronze the circus performer is signed A. Barye Le Fils. The majority of the sculptures leaving the Barye foundry were sand castings rather than lost-wax castings. Alfred Barye typically used mid-brown patinas like this sculpture but would sometimes add green [(a color famously used by his father) and auburn-colored hues in the patination process. Any Barye bronze – by father or son – will generally have an exquisite patina. Antoine-Louis was exceptionally particular with his patinas not allowing other foundries to apply them, preferring to do it himself for appearance and quality control purposes. Alfred, too, would not let a sculpture leave his workshop without a perfectly applied and visually pleasing patina.His bronzes are now in many museums' collections including the:Louvre MuseumMusee d'Orsay Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art, Brazil   **FREE PICKUP AVAILABLE IN NEW YORK CITY (New Britain DISTRICT MANHATTAN)** CONTACT ME FOR DETAILS IF INTERESTED IN PICKING UP THIS ITEM.
