"Spirit Rising," Large Bronze Sculptural Relief Panel.

Offered by: 2220 Antiques

Description
Demonstrating his mastery of allegorical subjects and the nude figure, this large octagonal sculptural bronze panel, featuring a nude male figure reaching out to constrain the rising spirit of his expired love, was created by Henry Alfred Pegram, one of Great Britain's leading sculptors in the early 20th century. Pegram is known for a number of public monuments and memorials, including "Hylas and the Nymph," placed in Regent's Park a few years after this relief was made, which also features a nude male figure with his arms aloft. Pegram also sculpted bas reliefs or free-standing sculptures for the Imperial Institute, St. Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Gate in London, in addition to major works in Cardiff, Norwich, Birmingham and Liverpool. Pegram also used this elongated octagonal form for another allegorical subject, "Perseus and Andromeda." The bronze is set in an iron frame and structural framework to facilitate installation.
