Bronze animalier, two fighting panthers by Georges Gardet, 1920

Animal sculpture in bronze signed G. Gardet, depicting two panthers caught in a fight of rare intensity. Georges Gardet, a master of animal realism from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, presents here a scene of remarkable power, where the tension of the muscles, the flexibility of the bodies, and the ferocity of the movement combine with perfect technical mastery. The deep patina of the bronze highlights the reliefs and captures the light, while the black marble base firmly anchors the scene, providing an elegant contrast to the fervour of the felines. A work that embodies all the majesty and nobility of French sculpture of its time. Details: Artist: Georges Gardet (1863-1939). Period: Early 20th century. Origin: France.
