Rearing Bull
modeled: 1841; first cast: ca. 1845
brass with a dark brown patina
(18th and 19th Centuries )
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Although Barye preferred wild animals over farm animals as subjects, he created several sculptures of powerful bulls during the early 1840s. They may have been related to the half-man, half-bull monster in his famous neoclassical statue Theseus and the Minotaur of 1842.
