The bronze sculpture with its golden-brown patina, created by Émile Carlier (1849-1927), is a striking tribute to the alpine chasseurs, seasoned soldiers who specialized in fighting in mountainous terrain. True to his artistic commitment, Carlier immortalizes the determination and elegance of these soldiers in a detailed and expressive work.
The Alpine hunter is depicted in full march, his rifle firmly held and his rucksack loaded, illustrating the harshness of the missions these soldiers faced.
Every fold of his uniform, every accessory is meticulously crafted, testifying to the care taken by the sculptor to faithfully represent this elite military corps.
With its golden-brown patina, the sculpture acquires a particular depth and solemnity, giving the impression that the bronze itself bears the memory of the hardships endured by these men.
This work is fully in keeping with Émile Carlier's approach, whose creations highlight the courage and sacrifice of soldiers from different armies, in France and elsewhere.
A true testament to military history, fashioned in metal to stand the test of time and continue to inspire admiration and respect.
