A BRONZE DEPICTING THE CROSSING OF THE BALKANS.INSCRIBED IN RUSSIAN ON THE SIDE 'E. LANCERAY, 1880, F.CHOPIN'. On a raised rectangular base with rounded corners, depicting three soldiers and four horses on the top of a hill during the war against the Turks in 1877,length: 51cm., 20in This sculpture immortalises the astonishing achievements of the Russian army during the crossing of the Balkan mountains in particularly difficult conditions in December 1887. Having already crossed the Danube, this was the last natural obstacle left on the army's march towards Constantinople. To the left there is a soldier helping his horse climb up a steep mountain and in the centre there is another cossack rider depicted having already reached the peak and about to start his descent. Both parts formed independent compositions titled: Horseman in the Balkans and Crossing the Balkans: Soldier on his Horse (1888) respectively. Originally intended as a mantel clock the composition of the sculpture draws an arch to accommodate the clock. There also exists another variant of this composition where the mountain is executed in white marble to imitate snow (sold at Sotheby's London, 25 October 1996).SIMILAR PIECE SOLD CHRISTIES N.Y.

A BRONZE STATUE OF CARACTACUS BY J.H. FOLEY (IRISH, 1818-1874).h.79cm. John Henry Foley, RA (1818-1874): John Henry Foley was probably the most influential sculptor working in Europe during the middle decades of the 19th century. A champion of Britain¢®¯s imperial values, his breathtaking equestrian masterpieces strode across city squares and parklands from Dublin to Calcutta. Queen Victoria personally requested that the Irishman create the statue of her beloved Prince Albert which sits at the core of the Albert Memorial. When Foley died in 1874, the Queen decreed that he should be buried in Westminster Abbey. Few of those who attended his funeral knew about his humble origins in the back streets of Dublin where his father was a grocer and his grandfather an amateur sculptor. The child prodigy mastered his craft under the brilliant Edward Smyth at the Royal Society Schools in Dublin. He arrived in London aged 18 on the eve of Queen Victoria¢®¯s reign and gradually rose through the ranks to become one of the most celebrated members of the Royal Academy. At the time of his premature death aged 54, his workshop was filled with incomplete commissions. The complexity of his life was such that, amongst these, were the aforesaid statue of Prince Albert, the towering monument of Irish nationalist icon Daniel O¢®¯Connell that dominates central Dublin today, and the statue of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson in Richmond, Virginia.   « Less
