David And Goliath By Antonin Mercié (1845-1916),

“David and Goliath” – A Masterpiece by Antonin Mercié Bronze sculpture with brown patina, signed “MERCIE” and “RÉDUCTION MÉCANIQUE COLLAS”. and F. Barbedienne. Dimensions: 93 x 45 x 23 cm. This remarkable bronze sculpture by the renowned French sculptor Antonin Mercié (1845-1916) captures the triumphant moment following David’s victory over the giant Goliath. The composition exudes both dynamism and refinement, showcasing exceptional attention to anatomical detail and emotional expression. David stands in a poised and confident stance, his sword still in his hand, resting on Goliath’s severed head. His youthful, muscular physique reflects the classical influences of academic sculpture, while the delicate drapery and play of light and shadow in the patina give the work a striking depth. The intricate details of the facial expressions and the texture of the bronze highlight Mercié’s masterful craftsmanship and artistic vision. This work is executed in bronze with a rich, warm brown patina, accentuating the sculptural forms and minute details. The signature “MERCIE” and the inscription “RÉDUCTION MÉCANIQUE COLLAS” indicate a collaboration with the Collas workshop, known for its expertise in mechanical reduction, ensuring the precision of this fine casting. With its monumental presence and historical significance, this sculpture is not only a tribute to the biblical story of courage and triumph, but also a fine collector’s item for lovers of neoclassical and academic sculpture.
