Florentine singer, 1865

One of the leading Florentine sculptors, Paul Dubois depicts Quattrocento figures in an idealized manner. This edition of the 'Florentine Singer' won him a first prize for sculpture in 1865. Straight out of a Botticelli painting, and with a pose that the Dutch painter Frans Hals would not have denied, this bronze Florentine Singer is also characteristic of eclectic taste in France at the end of the 19th century.
