rembrandt bugatti
Rembrandt Bugatti (Milan 1884-1916 Paris) Deux grands léopards, circa 1913-1914 Bronze, richly shaded black brown patina H 32.5 x W 108.7 x D 16.7 cm Bronze signed 'R.Bugatti', cast by Albino Palazzolo for 'A.A Hébrard cire perdue, Paris' (seal), second example inscribed (2) from an identified edition at 8 examples (circa 1914-1934) Cast in 1918 This model is typical of Bugatti’s way of depicting couples in a peaceful attitude, insisting on the fluidity of the line and the delicacy of the modelling: the first Leopard's barely raised left foreleg – a hesitation to walk ? – and the tail of the second, extending the scene to the rear, are the signatures of his work. The group belongs to the sculptor’s so-called Cubist period, when volumes become as if mathematised; and finally, of the patinas known for this model, the naturalistic red-brown colour is the most suited to the subject and also the one most sought-after by collectors. In Rembrandt Bugatti’s 326-issues in the catalogue raisonné, the 'Deux grands léopards' are one of the most imposing groups of beasts in this collection, after 'Les trois panthères marchant' from Bonhams in 2024 and the 'Deux panthères' from Rouillac in 2020. The edition is identified at 8 examples, all cast between 1915 and 1934. Ours is the second, cast in 1918.

Provenance: private collection, France; private collection, Italy This Apostle is part of the cycle of portraits of the Apostles by the same artist, housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid. Diagnostic analyses conducted on the canvas have confirmed its full compatibility with works executed around 1630 by the painter, also revealing the presence of preparatory drawing, a method he frequently employed.
