The bronze figure "Smart Owl on marble-base" is an impressive Animal Bronze made and signed by Milo after an idea of Francois Pompon. The owlet is known as a symbol of keen wisdom. This impressive bronze statue is standing on a round marble-base, in upright position and the view is fixed to the horizon. This animal sculpture of an owl was created very filigree and is a fascinating product of Milo. In comparison with the original, this animal bronze in museum- cast quality is as filigree as possible. This amazing bronze figure was made to exhibit or for collectors using.
As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
The artist Francois Pompon was born on May 9, 1855 in France. The sculptor and animalier moved to Paris and worked as assistant of Auguste Rodin for three years. He made his breakthrough at the age of 67 by creating a polar bear sculpture. If you are interested in seeing this sculpture, you can either visit the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris or the Museum of Luxemburg. Those three museums do shelter one exemplar. As an animalier Francois Pompon made many animal sculptures like this owl. The owl is divided into two different kinds: barn-owls and typical owls. They have an enormous habitat, which includes almost every part of the world except Antarctica. The owl is known as a nocturnal animal which is hunting during the darkness. This kind of birds was often mentioned in literature like at Grimm's fairy tails and many superstitions about owls are known.
