A sublime tribute to the dignity of the working gesture, this impressive sculpture in patinated bronze, entitled "Le Travail", is the work of French sculptor Maurice Constant (1892-1970).
At an imposing 60 cm high, the statue depicts a standing blacksmith, frozen between strength and concentration, hammer raised in a suspended gesture. All the soul of the working world is expressed here with poignant intensity. The musculature is taut, the gaze fixed, the posture embodying both the harshness of the effort and the nobility of the craft.
The signature "Maurice Constant" is visible on the base of the sculpture. The original brown patina is homogeneous, elegantly underlining volumes and reliefs.
About the artist :
Maurice Constant, a French sculptor active in the first half of the 20th century, was one of a number of figurative artists who celebrated man at work, such as Constantin Meunier and Jules Dalou. Little known to the general public, his work is now of growing interest to lovers of realist and social art, for its narrative power and the sincerity of its gaze.
He stands out for his ability to capture the tension of movement and to transcribe, in bronze, the memory of toil and the beauty of effort.
