ATTRIBUE A JEAN RAON (1630-1707)
Allegory of Summer White marble bust H. Totale : 58cm Turquoise marble pedestal. Boarder at the French Academy in Rome at the expense of the King, Jean Raon returned to France and joined the fabulous construction site of the Palace of Versailles in which he participated alongside Charles Le Brun and André le Nôtre. He delivered a quantity of sculpted groups illustrating the months or the seasons, which will come to decorate the walks in the gardens and the groves. Our bust takes up the features of these beautiful allegorical figures that the artist created with brio, in particular the almond-shaped eyes, the small and fleshy lips as well as the naturalist treatment of the hair tied with ears of wheat.
