This Art Deco piece captivates with the power of its subject and the finesse of its execution.

Belgium, Circa 1925
Victor Demanet (1895/1964)

A renowned Belgian sculptor, he won numerous awards throughout his career, including recognition for his bronze sculpture "To the Rescue" at the 1925 Paris Salon and a gold medal for "Metallurgy" at the 1930 International Exhibition in Liège. He created various statues of King Albert I and Princess Astrid for various cities, as well as other monuments featuring historical figures. Influenced by Constantin Meunier, Demanet's socially engaged art focused on the representation of workers. His sculpture "To the Rescue" depicts two generations of transporters, symbolizing the themes of life, sharing, and mutual aid, inviting viewers to interpret its meaning beyond superficial representation.
