In 1903, when Matisse made this interpretation of an écorché, the original was believed to be by Michelangelo. The original sculpture was later attributed to the French Baroque sculptor, Pierre Puget (1620-94). The present bronze was cast at the Valsuani Foundry, Paris and is number 8 of 10. Matisse included the plaster model of this sculpture in two paintings: 'Interior with aubergines' (1911, now Musée de Peinture et Sculpture, Grenoble) and 'Still life with aubergines' (1911, Private Collection). Matisse is remembered by most people as a painter, but sculpture was an important aspect of his work. The majority of his sculpture was conceived between 1900 and 1909, but was not cast in bronze until towards the end of his life, or posthumously. The bronzes were cast mainly by the founders, C. Valsuani or A. Bingen-Costenoble of Paris. In the second decade of the century Matisse concentrated on painting but included representations of sculpture in about twenty of his interior views and still lifes. In the mid-1920s he returned to creative sculpture of human figures, creating many more between then and about 1932, but only three between the end of the 1930s and his death. reference term-109008 adlib-term-109008 841b18bd-944d-3c9c-8d39-bdaabbcc28e1 20th Century, Early reference term-129470 adlib-term-129470 8353db27-fba9-33c1-94a1-f268fd2a2d21 Paris reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze Height cm 37.9 reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure Location note: base only is in Rug Store 3/B [24.04.19] reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK Publ. p. 145, no. 8, and pl. 8 p. 145 reference publication-1889 adlib-publication-1889 2177645c-e531-381c-a383-4e630cd33e45 The Sculpture of Henri Matisse
