EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Bellerophon slaying the Chimaera" transports viewers into a mythical world of heroism and adventure. Crafted by Emile Louis Picault in the late 19th century, this neoclassical masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 70 cm. The scene depicted is one of bravery and triumph as Bellerophon, a legendary hero from Greek mythology, fearlessly battles the fearsome Chimaera. Mounted on his noble steed, Bellerophon wields his sword with precision and determination to vanquish this monstrous creature. The sculpture beautifully captures the intensity of the moment - the heroic figure rearing back on his horse while striking down upon the chimera's ferocious head. The attention to detail brings life to both man and beast; their muscles tense with exertion as they engage in this epic struggle. Picault's work showcases his mastery in sculpting dynamic movement and evoking emotions through art. This figurine serves as a testament to human courage and strength against formidable odds.
