After Jean Baptiste Pigalle (1714–1785) - Eros
An outstanding substantial 19th century bronze after Jean Baptiste Pigalle (1714–1785) Eros and Anteros fighting over a human heart, the whole upon a black marble base. The bronze is of good proportions at 52cm (20 inches) high.
The sculpture illustrates the contrasting but complementary nature of love, with Eros representing love and Anteros representing love returned or 'reciprocal love' in a passionate struggle over a human heart. According to Greek mythology, Anteros was conceived as a companion to Eros, both sons of Aphrodite and Ares. Their relationship represented the contrast between friendship and rivalry and devotion and conflict and as such they were often depicted wrestling or fighting in some sort of competition.
The bronze has excellent colour with good aged patina throughout. There is some wear in areas commensurate with age (please see photographs) but the piece is generally in good order throughout and displays extremely well.

Height: 52cm
Diameter of base: 19.5cm
