John The Baptist, Lost Wax Bronze Statue by A. Rodin Heroic Size

$15,285.00 price_excluding_tax

In 1877, Rodin began with first studies on a monumental sculpture of ‘St. John the Baptist Preaching’. Responding to the critics who had accused him to have used casts after life for ‘The Age of Bronze’ he modeled his figure larger than life-size. 

Rodin’s interpretation of St. John the Baptist is that of a man preaching while walking. Although both feet are fixed on the ground with the whole sole – like in an Egyptian sculpture – the work procures the dynamic impression of a man that resolutely goes his way. To his friend Paul Gsell, Rodin later explained how he visualised two phases of a stride simultaneously in order to suggest movement: “Now, the illusion of life is obtained in our art by good modelling and by movement.

Dimensions: 85″H x49″L x 37″W. All dimensions are approximate.

Description

This handcrafted bronze sculpture is cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a verdi patina

Jumbo, Monumental and heroic sizes do not come with a marble base.

Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery.

Color Choices – The standard way we usually cast and finish many of our sculptures is with what we refer to as multi-color patina. Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as other custom finish options. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in natures elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent a patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference.
