Edouard Drouot (1859-1945), The struggle for life (La Lutte pour la Vie), Silvered Bronze and Green marble sculpture
Signed “E. Drouot”
This valuable bronze-silvered sculpture is the work of the French sculptor Edouard Drouot (1859-1945) and depicts La The struggle for life (La Lutte pour la Vie). It is the representation of a man with a statuary and classicist physique, dressed only with a thong, while struggling with a fierce panther, climbing on a rocky group. Some identify the man Milone of Crotone, ancient Greek wrestler and Olympic champion, who lived in the second half of the sixth century BC, famous for his incredible strength. The sculptural ensemble is of great expressive power. It rests on a green marble base.
Édouard Drouot is a French sculptor born in Sommevoire on 3 April 1859 and died in Paris on 22 May 1945. He is a pupil of Émile Thomas and Mathurin Moreau and has been exhibiting at the Paris Salon since 1889. He was awarded the Third Class Medal in 1892. He participated in the Universal Exhibition in 1900 in Paris with L’amateur, where he obtained an honorable mention. Known for its marble and bronze sculptures depicting mythological and allegorical scenes, it also depicts animals and oriental subjects. The sculptures of Drouout are characterized by a strong sense of movement and expressive touch. Some of his works are now preserved in the collections of the Courtauld Institute in London and the Indiana University Art Museum in Bloomington, among others.
The beautiful bronze quality and the perfect state gives this sculpture a very decorative, a pleasant usability. Perfect Desk sculpture.
