Animal Sculpture - Walking Panther (1904) - Bugatti - Bronze Figurine

The Italian sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti created his bronze sculpture Walking Panther (Panthère marchant) around 1904. One of the first gypsum models of the animal figurine can be found in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Rembrandt Bugatti is known as an artist who really breathed life into his pieces. The specialisation in animal depictions already happened at an early point in his artistic career. Bugatti studied the regional and exotic fauna in Paris’ Jardin de Plantes. He saw every animal as an individual being, which led to a new understanding of the animal sculpture itself, far from the conventional idealised motifs at the time. The central characteristics of his motifs became the main focus of the sculptures he created. The bronze figurine Walking Panther is one of Bugatti’s most important pieces. Placed on a discreet marble base, the dominant body of the panther is skilfully presented. This signed bronze figurine is serially numbered and limited to 20 exclusive pieces. It shows a snapshot that combines authentic proportions with a natural dynamic.
