Walking Ape - Signed Bugatti - Bronze Animal Figurine - Statue

Sculptures by Rembrandt Bugatti are rated among the most important animal depictions of the early 20th century. Thus, this bronze ape figurine seamlessly fits into the artistic heritage of the Italian artist, whose works encompass more than 300 sculptures and statues. Placed on a discreet marble base, Bugatti’s Walking Ape is characterised by its authentic, slender bodily proportions, which are slightly abstracted by an almost crude surface design. This structure is typical for the unique style of the artist who spent most of his life in Paris. In this regard, some other works of his are Walking Panther and Elephant Begging. The decorative bronze ape figurine is accentuated by several polishings that skilfully highlight the valuable material.

Due to his precise observational skills and empathy, Rembrandt Bugatti (1884 - 1916) was an esteemed individual in his sphere of artists. His overall work is often compared to a bestiary, ranging from popular animal depictions to exotic beings. After he died at the early age of 31, Bugatti increasingly fell into oblivion. Yet today, Rembrandt Bugatti’s animal figurines are having a comeback among private collectors. Buy bronze figurines and sculptures online at Kunst & Ambiente’s Bronze Shop.
