The Thinker (1880) Rodin never wanted to say anything about what his Thinker thought, at most about how he thought. “My Thinker thinks not only with his brain, his furrowed brow, his dilated nostrils and pursed lips, but with every muscle in his arms, back and legs. The Thinker sits in the tympanum and surveys…

Bring the excitement and humor of a classic hunt to life with “La Chasse,” a unique image inspired by Albert Dubout’s masterful illustrations. This artwork shows a single moment of focus and playfulness: a cat in full concentration, looking for its prey. A beautiful example of Dubout’s recognizable style, in which he captures the essence of cats with humor and elegance.
Behind the ornamental facade lies pure, almost esoteric happiness, a classic prayer in a sea of flowers. The lovers seem to be detached from this world in a manner typical of the Art Nouveau style. An impression that is further enhanced by the use of gold tones and gold leaf. Height 10 cm. Packaged in…

The Vitruvian man (ca. 1490) Da Vinci tended to compensate for his lack of an education in the classical sense with an excess of empirical studies.

Black is the ultimate colour for anyone who loves sleek and stylish. It looks timeless, elegant and self-assured, and it has the quality of reinforcing a statue’s form: the silhouette comes into its own to the fullest. A black statue works beautifully as a statement against a light wall, but just as well tone-on-tone in a dark, atmospheric interior. In this selection you’ll find black art statues in all kinds of styles and finishes, from deep matte black and anthracite to glossy, dramatic high gloss. Looking for a gift that’s always a hit? Black suits everyone and everywhere.
