'To Mr A.A. Hébrard who created the artist and the man.' 'To Mr A.A. Hébrard who created the artist and the man.' Three Panthers Walking by Rembrandt Bugatti is a masterly sculpture in every respect. This iconic work, 150 cm long and executed by the artist around 1905 at the age of 21, unsurprisingly illustrates the cover of Véronique Fromanger's Répertoire monographique des œuvres de l'artiste. Dedicated in Italian to Hébrard, "Al'sig. AA Hebrard che l'arte e il nome mio fece", his founder and patron, this sculpture of the Three Walking Panthers is a unique piece. Aware that he owned one of the artist's masterpieces, Hébrard always kept it in his collection, before it was passed on to his heirs. It then remained with a major collector until today, when it is presented for the very first time at public auction. Rembrandt Bugatti was born in Milan in 1884, and grew up in an environment of intense artistic emulation: his uncle Giovanni Segantini, and family friend Paul Troubetzkoy, both artists, encouraged him along this path. His father, Carlo Bugatti, a furniture designer who combined architectural and animal elements, trained him in his workshop and passed on his know-how. Bugatti explored different media: drawing, wood, metal, stone, plaster and plastiline. The year 1901 marked a turning point in his artistic life. During a stay in the Swiss mountains with his uncle Segantini, inspired by what he saw, he modeled for the first time, freehand, Ritorno dal pascolo, four cows walking one behind the other, guided by a farmer. Inspired by his surroundings and a great lover of animals, the artist also depicted his pet dogs. Bugatti shaped the beginnings of what was to be his lifelong artistic quest: to capture in the fleeting instant the personality, character and emotions of the animals he loved so much, and to which he felt so close, much closer than to humans. Far from confining himself to domestic animals, Bugatti discovered the zoos of Paris and Antwerp and thus broadened his artistic corpus with the representation of wild animals, which he tamed little by little, feeding them, talking to them and spending most of his time among them. In 1903, Bugatti moved to Paris and began visiting the Menagerie at the Jardin des Plantes. He observed with emotion and fascination the exotic fauna that was the greatest inspiration of his life. Animals such as the anteater, tapir, stork, marabou, yak, birds of prey and kangaroo entered European art history as sculpted subjects for the first time. His interest shifted to large predators, including wild beasts. Every day, he comes to share the life of the felines. He got to know each of the panthers, their characters, their postures, their interactions. Thanks to his visual acuity, his speed of execution, and his extraordinary love of animals, he shapes freehand and in situ these felines that he considers "his life and work companions". In her book, Véronique Fromanger explains: "Bugatti models his subject on the v
