Description
signed, 19th century, 37" tall......Jules Moigniez was born in France in 1835. He began his studies under Paul Comolera. Because of Comolera's interest in the subject, Moigniez began sculpting birds. Throughout his career, his subjects of choice would actually be game birds. He also sculpted horses and dogs. Today, he is remembered as one of the great anamalier sculptures, and his work is admired for its detail, craftsmanship, and unique style. Moigniez's first exhibit took place when he was 20 years old. It was in 1855 at the Paris Exposition Universelle. At this event, he exhibited a plaster titled Pointer Stopping at A Pheasant. From this point on, he exhibited his works. He began showing his pieces at the Salon from 1859-1892. During this time, he showcased thirty sculptures at the Salon and exhibited other pieces in England. His work became most popular with the people of England although he experienced success with art enthusiasts in England and America. Most of his game bird sculptures are thought to have been sold in America.
