Description

Art Nouveau patinated bronze figure Phryne - Pierre Etienne Daniel Campagne. A finely detailed and well cast figure of a naked woman with drapery in her arms and on her shoulders. The figure stands on a bronze base and is signed Campagne to one side and has a plaque to the front Phyrne Devant ses Juges par Compagne Sculpt. Phryne was a 4th century Greek courtesan who was renowned for her beauty When accused of blasphemy (a capital charge), she was defended by the orator Hyperides. When it seemed as if the verdict would be unfavourable, he tore her dress and displayed her bosom, which so moved the jury that they acquitted her; another version has Phryne tear her own dress and plead with each individual juror.

French c 1895

A similar figure is shown in Bermans Bronzes ref 4285 and P. Kjellberg, Les Bronzes du XIX Siecle, Paris, p. 169.

Campagne studied under Falguière and exhibited at the Salon from 1889. He produced numerous versions of Phryné, his most famous model. He exhibited a plaster version at the Paris Salon of 1893 and the marble example in 1894. He also cast the figure in bronze in various sizes,

FAQs

Art Nouveau sculpture, prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterised by fluid, organic lines, asymmetrical natural forms, and mythological or allegorical female motifs.

These pieces were typically crafted using the lost-wax method (cire perdue) to cast molten bronze, followed by hand-applied chemical patination to achieve various shades of brown, green, or black.

Authentic pieces often feature foundry marks, artist signatures etched into the base, crisp casting details without modern grinding marks, and natural age-related wear to the patination.

Display the sculpture as a focal point on a mantelpiece, pedestal, or study desk, allowing its organic forms to contrast cleanly against minimalist contemporary architecture.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and occasionally apply a very light coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the patination from moisture and oxidation; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
