Europa & Zeus as a Bull Bronze Sculpture Statue Nude Female Figure by Fernando Botero
Description
Condition: This sculpture is in perfect condition.This proportionally exaggerated bronze sculpture is characteristic of Fernando Botero's abstract and representational style. The bold woman rides on the back of a large bull, plump and confident, with her right arm behind her turned head. The artists dramatic emphasis on shape and volume creates a great attraction and tangibility to form. The sculpture was molded by using the lost-wax casting method and finished with brown patina tarnish allowing intricate work to come through the precious metal. This is an exquisite three-dimensional work of art for anyone who is F.Botero enthusiast. Fernando Botero Angulo (born April 19, 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist, self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on. He came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. Working most of the year in Paris, in the last three decades he has achieved international recognition for his paintings, drawings and sculpture, with exhibitions across the world. His art is collected by major museums, corporations and private collectors.

FAQ's
What material are your sculptures made out of?
All of our sculptures are made from100% hot cast bronze, and handmade in the ancient lost wax casting method. We never sell cheap cold cast sculptures or resins!
What is the difference between hot cast and cold cast bronzes?
Hot cast bronze is created by pouring a molten metal mixture into a mold. Before the metal can be poured, our artists must first create the mold on a medium such as clay, rubber, or wood. Each mold allows for a limited number of pours, and therefore a limited amount of sculptures can be created in any given round of production before the mold is destroyed and the artist must create a new mold.
Cold cast is actually made from resins and plastics which are painted over. They are cheaper, lighter, and less durable.
Generally speaking, hot cast bronzes are very time consuming and limited in their production, whereas cold cast resins can be mass produced and are inexpensive to create.
