About the Item

Fine quality gilt and silvered bronze bust of Amazonian Queen Penthesilea by Emile Hebert. Original 19th century bronze bust mounted on a period Belgian black marble base with gilt details and Brèche d' Alep marble. Pierre-Eugène-Émile Hébert (1828-1893) was a French sculptor. As the son of sculptor Pierre Hébert, he studied both with his father and with Jean-Jacques Feuchère (1807–1852). Émile Hébert participated in the Salon de Paris and the Exposition Universelle (1855), created the allegorical statues La Comédie and Le Drame for the vaudeville theatre in Paris, and was awarded a Second Class Medal in 1872. Émile Hébert was one of the few sculptors to work with the renowned bronze fondeur Georges Servant, and their artistic collaboration resulted in pieces of the Neo-Grecian and Egyptian Revival style. Penthesilea was an Amazonian queen in Greek mythology, the daughter of Ares and Otrera and the sister of Hippolyta, Antiope and Melanippe. She assisted Troy in the Trojan War, during which she was killed by Achilles.

Hébert learned extensively from their very divergent paths. Whereas Pierre Hébert...
