Monumental marble fountain with sculpture of woman. Paris/Budapest, 1920
About the Item
Large Marble fountain with sculpture of woman, Paris Budapest, 1920. The sculpture was made in Paris in the 1910s. Purchased by a Hungarian nobleman, the statue was placed in 1929 on a marble fountain he had made for his villa in the hills of Budapest. If desired, the hydraulic system can be reactivated by inserting an electric motor. The woman sitting above the fountain is by Paul Philippe.
Paul Philippe (1870–1930) was a French sculptor who worked during the late 19th and early 20th century. His work primarily consisted of bronze sculptures done in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco genres.
He specialized in bronze and chryselephantine sculptures that featured young women. A number of the pieces he created were of figures in the nude which was popular during the era he worked in. He worked for a time in Berlin, sometimes employing the Rosenthal und Maeder (R.U.M.) and Preiss-Kassler foundries to cast his work.
Philippe is perhaps best known for his circa 1925 sculpture entitled Awakening, although his oeuvre consists of a large body of work. Awakening features a young nude woman stretching as she awakens from a long night's sleep.[1]
Philippe's work is exhibited in the Art Deco Museum in Moscow, Russia, one of the newest museums in the city, which opened in 2014.His work is also a part of other major collections and often appears for sale at major auction houses around the world, sometimes selling for hefty sums.
