AGATHON LEONARD (Lille, 1841-Paris, 1923). "Ballerina". Bronze. Marble pedestal. Signed. Measurements: 45 + 8 cm (pedestal). The most celebrated theme of this sculptor was that of the dancers, like the one shown here. Agathon Léonard was a French Art Nouveau sculptor. Léonard moved to Paris at a young age and studied sculpture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris with Eugène Delaplanche. In 1887 he joined the Société des Artistes Français and in 1897 the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He exhibited regularly throughout France and was named Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1900. One of his best known works is La Cothurne (Tragic Pose from Le Jeu de l'escharpe), modeled in 1895 and cast in 1900. The handkerchief play, executed in the characteristic fin-de-siècle and gilt style, depicts a dancer in a flowing dress with a billowing handkerchief on her head. This piece, made in 1897, was inspired by the famous dancer Lois Fuller and was displayed as a centerpiece at the 1900 Universal Exposition in the Pavillon de Sèvres in Paris. Léonard's works were cast in bronze by the Susse Frères Editeurs foundry. In addition to bronze, he also produced works in marble, quartz and ivory. His bas-relief of Saint Cecilia is in the Museum of Abbeville and the Museum of Nantes houses a bust entitled The Looter of Shipwrecks. Léonard also made medallions, statuettes and Art Nouveau ceramics.

Agathon LEONARD (1841-1923) - Danseuse à la Cothurne - Gilded bronze - Fonte Susse et Frères Height: 28 cm Note : Representing a dancer in motion, this work illustrates the artist's excellence in capturing the feminine grace and fluidity of gesture typical of Art Nouveau. Leonardo, famous for his dancing figurines, here combines sensuality with technical mastery, making this piece a celebration of aesthetics and elegance. Agathon Léonard's Danseuse à la Cothurne is part of a group of sculptures entitled "Le Jeu de l'Écharpe", created at the end of the XIXᵉ century. This set, comprising fifteen dancing female figures, was presented by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, where it met with notable success. The Petit Palais in Paris holds two terracotta sketches from this set, acquired in 2016. These sketches testify to Leonardo's creative process and his attention to detail in depicting feminine movement and grace. The "Danseuse à la Cothurne" was produced in various sizes and materials, notably in gilded bronze by the Susse Frères foundry, like our model presented here. This sculpture illustrates the elegance and dynamism characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, of which Agathon Léonard is an eminent representative.

Agathon Léonard, 1841 Lille – 1923 Paris
Est: €25,000 - €35,000
DANSEUSE AU COTHURNE Höhe: 42 cm. Gesamthöhe: 60 cm. Rückseitig signiert „A. Léonard Sclp.“ mit dem runden Gießerstempel „SUSSE FRÈRES PARIS“. Bronzeguss, in Kaltarbeit nachziseliert, mit Goldpatina. Vergoldete Bronzefigur aus dem Zyklus „Le jeu de l’echarpe“, Entwurf 1898. Die Tänzerin in langem, am Boden aufstehendem Faltenkleid mit weiten, ausschwingenden Ärmeln. Der besondere Aspekt der Gestaltung ist die Erfassung eines kurzen Augenblicks in der Bewegung, was der Figur trotz aller Ruhe die Spannung verleiht. Das über die Figur weit ausschwingende Tuch hat den Einsatz einer Glühbirne erlaubt, die den zurückgeneigten Kopf wirkungsvoll beleuchtet. Elektrifiziert. Die Figur entstand als Teil einer Tänzerinnen-Gruppe „Jeu de l’Echarpe“, zunächst konzipiert als Wandreliefs für ein Theaterfoyer. Alexandre Sandier, Leiter der Porzellanmanufaktur Sèvres, sah die Modelle 1897 auf der Ausstellung der Société nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris und beauftragte den Künstler, einen mehrteiligen Tafelaufsatz in Porzellan mit zwölf Tänzerinnen und Musikerinnen zu realisieren, bis 1901 um drei Figuren erweitert. So wurden die Figuren der Gruppe auch in Sèvres-Porzellan in verschiedenen Größen hergestellt. Die Figurengruppe weithin anerkannt zu den schönsten Werken der Jugendstil-Plastik. Die Gießerei Susse Frères sicherte sich schon 1901 die Rechte an der Bronzeproduktion. Der Künstler Agathon Léonard van Weydefeldt entstammte einer belgischen Familie, erhielt die französische Staatsbürgerschaft, nachdem er 1870 auf der französischen Seite gekämpft hatte. Er begann das Studium an der Akademie in Lille, danach an der École nationale supérieur des beaux-arts de Paris, unter anderem bei Eugène Delaplanche. 1868 nahm er am Salon teil, wurde 1887 Mitglied der Société des Artistes Français. Bei dem berühmten Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux war er als Praktikant beteiligt am Bau der „Fontaine de l’Observatoire“ in Paris (1867-1874). Anlässlich der Pariser Weltausstellung 1889 erhielt er die Silbermedaille, 1900 den Orden der Ehrenlegion, 1901 die Goldmedaille. A.R. Literatur: Vgl. Ingeborg Böstge, Emmanuelle Héran, Agathon Léonard. Le Geste Art Nouveau, Paris 2003. Vgl. Alberto Shayo, Statuettes of the Art Deco period, Woodbridge/ Suffolk 2016. (1401587) (11) Agathon Léonard, 1841 Lille – 1923 Paris DANSEUSE AU COTHURNE Height: 42 cm. Total height: 60 cm. Signed “A. Léonard Sclp.” on the reverse with round foundry mark “SUSSE FRÈRES PARIS”. Bronze; cast, cold work with gold patina. Gilt-bronze figure from the cycle “Le jeu de l’écharpe”, designed in 1898. The figure was created as part of a group of dancers titled “Le jeu de l’écharpe”, initially conceived as a wall relief for a theatre foyer. Alexandre Sandier, director of the Sèvres porcelain manufactory, saw the models in 1897 at the exhibition of the Société nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris and commissioned the artist to create a multi-part porcelain centrepiece with twelve dancers and musicians, which was expanded by three figures by 1901. The figures of the group were also manufactured in Sèvres porcelain in various sizes. This group of figures is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful works of Art Nouveau sculpture. The Susse Frères foundry secured the rights to the bronze production as early as 1901. Electrified. Literature: cf. Ingeborg Böstge, Emmanuelle Héran, Agathon Léonard.

Tiffany: The Garden Museum Collection, Woodbridge, Suffolk, 2004, p.643 Note: This elegant figure in an elaborately draped dress belongs to a series of dancers conceived by Agathon Léonard, the Jeu de l'Écharpe, which was first exhibited at the Société Nationale des Beaux Art in 1897 as a project for a theatre foyer. The dancers in elegant poses are characterised by their delicate gestures, loose dresses and wide sleeves. They rapidly became Léonard's most popular works and were produced in gilt bronze by the Susse foundry. The present bronze is a large-size Susse Frères cast of the 'Danseuse à L’Écharpe, Genou Levé', model no.12, created between 1897 and 1899, the Susse edition produced from 1901. The carefully chased surface of the bronze produces a shimmer effect of light on the gilded surface.

Agathon Léonard, 1841 Lille – 1923 Paris
Est: €35,000 - €45,000
COTHURNUS-TÄNZERINHöhe: 53 cm. Rückseitig signiert „A. Léonard Sclp“ mit dem runden Gießerstempel „SUSSE FRÈRES PARIS“. Bronze, Goldpatina. Die junge Tänzerin in langem, am Boden aufstehendem Faltenkleid mit weiten, ausschwingenden Ärmeln. Im rückwärts zusammengeknoteten Haar ein Band. Der rechte Arm hochgenommen, der linke zur Sandale heruntergeführt. Auffälliger Kontrast zwischen der feinen Fältelung der Kleidung und der glatten Behandlung von Brustpartie und vor allem dem bestechend fein ausgeführten, geneigten Kopf, dessen Wirkung durch die Fältelung der Gewandrüsche zudem eine wirkungsvolle Rahmung erhält. Die Figur zählt weithin anerkannt zweifellos zu den schönsten Werken der Jugendstil-Plastik. Der besondere Aspekt der Gestaltung ist wohl die Erfassung eines kurzen Augenblicks in der Bewegung, was der Figur trotz aller Ruhe die Spannung verleiht. Léonard entstammte einer belgischen Familie, nahm die französische Staatsbürgerschaft an und begann sein Studium zunächst an der Akademie in Lille, danach an der École nationale supérieur des beaux-arts de Paris, unter anderem bei Eugène Delaplanche. 1868 nahm er am Salon teil, wurde 1887 Mitglied der Société des Artistes Français. 1889 Silbermedaille anlässlich der Pariser Weltausstellung; 1900 erhielt er den Orden der Ehrenlegion. Er arbeitete in verschiedenen Materialien, wie Biskuitporzellan, Bronze oder Steingut. So existieren auch von der vorliegenden Figur unterschiedliche Ausführungen, von denen diese die größte ist.
