The cool, neoclassical surface finish of all Pradiers sculptures is charged with an eroticism that their mythological themes can barely disguise. At the Salon of 1834, Pradier\'sSatyr and Bacchantecreated a scandalous sensation. Some claimed to recognize the features of the sculptor and his mistress, Drouet. When the prudish government of Louis-Phillippe refused to purchase it, Count Anatole Demidoff bought it and took it to his palazzo in Florence. (It has since moved to the Louvre).

Biography fromDaphne Alazraki Fine Art
The cool, neoclassical surface finish of his sculptures is charged with an eroticism that their mythological themes can barely disguise. At the Salon of 1834, Pradier\'sSatyr and Bacchantecreated a scandalous sensation. Some claimed to recognize the features of the sculptor and his mistress, Drouet. When the prudish government of Louis-Phillippe refused to purchase it, Count Anatole Demidoff bought it and took it to his palazzo in Florence. (It has since moved to the Louvre).
Other famous and less controversial sculptures by Pradier are the figures ofFamein the spandrels of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and his twelveVictoriesinside the dome of the Invalides (Napoleon\'s tomb). Pradier is buried in the Pere-Lachaise cemetery. Most of the contents of his studio were bought up after his death by the city museum of Geneva.
In 1846, Gustave Flaubert said of him: \"This is a great artist, a true Greek, the most antique of all moderns; a man who is distracted by nothing, not by politics, nor socialism, and who, like a true workman, sleeves rolled up, is there to do his task morning til night with the will to do well and the love of his art.\"
Pradier\'sSapphowas first shown in bronze at the 1848 Paris Salon (coll. Of H.M Queen Elizabeth II, Osborne House, Isle of Wight). The version exhibited at the Salon was twice the size of the present cast, and like this work featured the Greek poet Sappho leaning gracefully against an Ionic column. The larger version also included a pair of cooing doves and a scroll displaying the Greek verses from herOde to Venus(Sappho I, 25 8): \"Goddess, come again today, take away my cruel torments, make the wishes of my heart come true, do not refuse me your help.\" In addition to the aforementioned bronze salon version (Dahesh Museum, New York), another model of this sculpture was cast in solid silver (The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, England).LA PÊCHE ET LA CHASSE (PAIR OF ALLEGORICAL FIGURES OF FISHING & HUNTING)** If you discover credit omissions or have additional information to add, please let us know
