19th century FRENCH SCHOOL after Jean CORNU (1650-1710) Roman Charity Relief in bronze with black patina. 92 x 73.5 cm BIBLIOGRAPHY: François Souchal, French Sculptors of the 17th and 18th Centuries. The Reign of Louis XIV, IV, p. 39-40, our work illustrated on p. 40. The model for this bronze relief depicting Roman Charity is none other than the reception piece for the Académie Royale de Peinture et Sculpture by Dieppe sculptor Jean Cornu in 1681. The plaster model, now lost, was donated by the artist to the Académie in 1684. The marble relief had been sealed in the garden of the École nationale des Beaux-Arts in the 1860s, but suffered considerable damage there: the old man's left arm and the child's right foot were broken. Our bronze, which still features the missing elements of the marble, was made in the 19th century, before the original marble was damaged. It bears the inscription MR (for Musées Royaux) above the woman's left foot.
