Paul Dubois, “Florentine Singer,” 1865, Bronze by F. Barbedienne Foundry
A bronze sculpture titled Florentine Singer, created by Paul Dubois in 1865 and cast by the celebrated F. Barbedienne foundry of Paris. The work belongs to the great tradition of 19th-century French academic sculpture, its Florentine subject, a young musician of the Renaissance, rendered with the refined detail and surface finish for which Barbedienne casting was famous. Dubois was known for historical and allegorical subjects in the academic manner, and this figure shows the narrative and figural interests of that practice at their most appealing. The bronze carries an appropriate aged patina. Well placed in a study, library, or reception space, where its detail rewards close viewing, it appeals to collectors of 19th-century academic art and to anyone drawn to Renaissance themes, with wear consistent with age.
