Version of the Jean-Jacques Feuchere sculpture Mephistopheles or Satan – estimate £800-1200 at Barry Hawkins.
The expected highlight of the sale held by Barry Hawkins in Downham Market, Norfolk on January 18 is this version of the Jean-Jacques Feuchere (1807-52) sculpture Mephistopheles or Satan.
Titled Satan when first exhibited in plaster at the Salon of 1834 and cast in bronze the following year, it proved an influential work for its Romantic portrayal of Mephistopheles as a melancholic rather than a monstrous creature. The subject’s pose is inspired by the famous engraving of Melancholy by Dürer (Feuchere is known to have owned a copy) and in turn is thought to have influenced Rodin’s Thinker.
A number of reductions were cast in bronze measuring 13½in (34cm) and 10½in (21cm), as here. Signed and dated Feuchere 1833, it is estimated at £800-1200.
