Jacques-Eugene Caudron - Skinned fighter - Sold

Jacques-Eugène Caudron (1818–1865) was a French sculptor active in the 19th century, primarily known for his anatomical studies and academic models. His so-called écorchés (dissected figures with visible musculature) were widely used in art academies as study objects for artists and students. These works combine artistic expression with medical accuracy and remain popular with collectors to this day. Offered is a beautiful and expressive sculpture titled “Écorché combattant” (after Caudron). It is a replica/studio model, crafted based on Caudron's original design, likely dating from around 1900 (late 19th – early 20th century). Such sculptures were cast in plaster at the time and used as study material within art education. The sculpture depicts a dynamic, anatomically detailed male figure in a powerful pose, with the muscle structure rendered in detail. This makes it both a decorative object and an interesting study piece within the classical art tradition. Dutch distribution via “BB Amsterdam”. Condition: In good condition considering age and use. Two minor damages visible: on the knee on the base. The right arm was once broken off, but the break has since been restored. A characterful and decorative object, highly suitable for lovers of anatomical art, academic sculptures, or as a special piece in a “cabinet of curiosities”.
