Alfred Barye Fils was a French artist known for his meticulously detailed bronze sculptures of the Belle Époque. Born in Paris in 1839, Bayre was apprenticed to his father, Antoine-Louis Barye, a premier animalier sculptor. Barye fils followed the example set by his father, working alongside him in the atelier to craft exquisite equestrian models and other fauna through the method of sand casting.
