Animals were very low down in the traditional Academic hierarchy of accepted subject-matter for artists, and the term animalier (an artist specialising in animals) was coined by critics specifically for Barye as a pejorative appellation. Barye was a successful monumental sculptor, but also created hundreds of small-scale models of animals for reproduction in bronze editions for middle-class homes. His last sales catalogue of 1865 listed over 230 compositions available to order as edition bronze statuettes. Keen for accuracy, Barye studied ancient animal sculptures as well as live beasts in the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle’s menagerie, copied zoological specimens in the Musée d’Anatomie Comparée and made anatomical drawings of dead lions. Bayre’s animal portraits include single animal figures (e.g. M.19-2015) and groups of predators with prey, or in combat with each other (e.g. M.1-2015), and some with human figures (e.g. M.5-2015). reference term-118652 adlib-term-118652 5a255bf0-199c-337e-ae02-4096e18f0ccf 19th Century, second half reference term-120306 adlib-term-120306 4c444129-3d8c-340f-bfbd-b4d82e5cbd17 literal France France country France reference term-39741 adlib-term-39741 47d44741-af05-37c3-b21e-0e278b114f3b copper alloy reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze Height cm 14 reference term-110277 adlib-term-110277 97f1ad1c-7b1d-373a-b0ae-ed010d95f37b animal figure history note Purchased in 1949 by Lt.
