Stuart Lochhead Sculpture | European Sculpture, 19th century sculpture, Renaissance bronzes, terracotta models

Sculpture speaks to us in a very special way and its innate physicality enriches our lives quite differently from any other art form.

Stuart Lochhead Sculpture offers the best in all media from antiquity to the 20th century. Whether created by a celebrated or a little-known artist, the sculptures we handle are of the highest quality.

With an intimate knowledge of the sculpture market and dedication to precise research we pursue the acquisition and sale of sculpture with three essential values in mind: Rarity, Integrity and Beauty.

After Canova

French school, second half of the 19th century

Hercules and Lichas

This impressive bronze is a fine cast after the monumental, over three-metre-tall composition executed by Antonio Canova

Rude

François Rude (1784-1855)

Figure of the Old Warrior, model conceived 1833-35

Representing the forebears of the French people, this symbol captivated the public’s imagination and held patriotic appeal.

Carpeaux

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (Valenciennes, 1827- Courbevoie, 1875)

Bacchantes aux Roses, circa 1872

The present sculpture testifies to Carpeaux’s technical prowess, and to his privileged relationship to marble, the artist’s favourite medium.

Southern Germany

1750-60

Immaculate Virgin

This virtuoso, polychrome wood sculpture epitomises the Bavarian Rococo style with its varied use of colour, gilding and paint finish.

Adam

Jacob Sigisbert Adam (Nancy, 1670 - 1747)

Louis XIV Trampling on Heresy, c. 1700

The abbot Claude Robert Husson wrote about Adam in 1766, “Jacob Sigisbert Adam, trained under the famous César Bagard, made figures in terracotta that were even more sought after than those in bronze”.

Gasparo Mola

Gasparo Mola (active in Florence, 1571 - Rome, 1640)

Cristo Vivo, Florence, circa 1600

A beautifully chased gilt bronze after a model by Antonio Susini (1558-1624).

Bourdelle

Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929)

Vase with a naked woman, circa 1892

This beautiful and sculptural vase is an early work Bourdelle realised in collaboration with Alexandre Bigot, one of the most important ceramicists at the time.

Carrier-Belleuse

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (Anizy-le-Château, 1824 – Sèvres, 1887)

Eugène Delacroix (Saint-Maurice, 1798 – Paris, 1863), 1864

At the 1865 Salon, the critic Gonzague Privat was pleased to discover "the portrait of Eugène Delacroix, beautiful bronze that was admired at the exhibition of works of the great painter [...] Mr. Carrier-Belleuse is, without any doubt, the most charming sculptor we have; his talent is varied like nature; he approaches everything and triumphs."

Il Bresciano

Andrea di Bartolomeo di Alessandri, (c. 1524 - 1573)

Pair of Couchant Sphinxes, cast in c. 1575

This fine pair of bronzes was executed in the workshop of Bresciano, the most renowned bronze founder in Venice and perhaps cast by Orazio di Gottardo, the artist’s son-in-law.

Nino Pisano

Nino Pisano (Tuscan school, active 1334 - 1368)

Saint John the Baptist, c. 1360-65

In his 2005 article F. Caglioti described this exquisite sculpture as a “splendid St John the Baptist by the artist, unpublished and in a private collection outside of Italy”.

Parodi

Filippo Parodi (Genoa, 1630-1702)

Christ at the Column, circa 1679

Parodi is widely regarded as Genoa’s foremost native baroque sculptor. His compositions defined the visual culture of the city and decorated the altars of prominent churches across late seventeenth-century Europe.

Chaudet

Antoine-Denis Chaudet (1756 - 1820)

Belisarius and His Guide, c.1795-1820

Depicting Flavius Belisarius, the last great Roman general, this special bronze is by any standards a masterpiece, one of the finest neo-classical bronze sculptures to have been made.
