    This is an exceptional, signed bronze by Jean-Baptiste Auguste Clesinger it depicts "Combat De Taureaux" ( a pair of sparring bulls).
    This classic dual shows the magnificent beasts going head to head. You can see at the base of the bronze sculpture, the Romain Ruins / columns that lie on the ground as they continue to push forth and battle on. Clesinger had an amazing eye for detail in his art, Never leaving one part of his sculpture untouched which is why there is so much detail. You can see the rib cages as both bulls breathe heavily. You can also see the back bones hip bones which protrude as the challenge each other over the lush leafy ruins. This amazing bronze sculpture which was hand made and casted using the " Lost Wax Method" is signed by Clesinger and has a dark brown patina.
    Below is information about the artist:
    Auguste Clésinger
    (Jean-Baptiste Auguste Clésinger) (1814, Besançon - 1883, Paris) was a French sculptor and painter of the 19th century. He is buried in the cimetière du Père-Lachaise (division 10) and his heir was his model and mistress Berthe Courrière.
    His father, Georges-Philippe, was a sculptor and trained Auguste in art. Auguste first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1843 with a bust of vicomte Jules de ValdahonWoman bitten by a serpent, produced from life-casts from his model Apollonie Sabatier (the pose being particularly suitable for such a method), thus reinforcing the scandal with an erotic dimension. Sabatier was a salonnier and the mistress of Charles Baudelaire and others. The sculpture's beauty was praised by Théophile Gautier:
    “Clésinger has resolved this problem of making beauty without cuteness, without affectation, without mannerism, with a head and a body of our own time, in which can be recognised his mistress if she is beautiful”
    Clésinger also portrayed Sabatier as herself, in an 1847 marble sculpture now in the Musée d'Orsay.
    He produced busts of the actor Rachel Félix and of Théophile Gautier, among others, along with a statue of Louise of Savoy (now in the Jardin du Luxembourg). He received the knight's cross of the Légion d'honneur in 1849 and rose to an officer of the order in 1864. George Sand was very attached to him and he married her daughter in 1847. They had a daughter, Jeanne or 'Nini', in 1849, but she died in 1855 shortly after her parents' separation.
