Item #3611

The French Art Deco Bathing Nude Female Statue, crafted by the Belgian sculptor Guillaume Dumont in 1923, is a testament to his artistic brilliance. Dumont, born in 1889, though the date of his death remains unknown, left an indelible mark on the world of sculpture.



His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics. This exquisite piece was prominently featured in the sculpture event, showcasing Dumont’s talent on a global stage.



In 1921, Dumont collaborated with the architect Leon Stynen to create a war memorial column (Herdenkingsmonument 1914–1918) in Knokke to commemorate the fallen of World War I. From a total of 16 designs submitted, Stynen’s was the one accepted, and Stynen collaborated with Dumont to make the monument. The memorial consists of four standing figures representing soldiers leaning against a central column. The sculpture was inaugurated on 11 June 1922.
