barye

Barye was no less successful in sculpture on a small scale, and excelled in representing animals in their most familiar attitudes.

Barye's place in the history of art is more nearly unique, perhaps, than that of any of the great artists.

Cellini's "Perseus" is really more of a "parlor ornament" than Barye's smallest figure.

It is said that Barye discovered his real bent from watching the wild beasts in the Jardin des Plantes.

Five days of the week he went to Barye's studio and worked for the master.
