Attributed to Claudius MARIOTON (1844-1919) Triton carrying a shell Bronze with brown and gold patina. H. 19,5 cm RELATED LITERATURE: Succession of Claudius Marioton, sculptor, cat. de vente, Mes Albert Le Ricque et Robert Bignon, Paris, Hôtel Drouot, 15 December 1919. Brother of the sculptor Eugène Marioton, Claudius Marioton started out as a chiseler for goldsmiths and sculptors such as Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (cup, silver, H. Paris, Musée d'Orsay, inv. OAO 337) and Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. He then trained in sculpture in the workshops of Auguste Dumont and Gabriel-Jules Thomas at the École des Beaux-Arts. From 1883, he regularly exhibited bronze sculptures at the Salon des Artistes français. Claudius Marioton then applied himself to the realization of statuettes and objets d'art in bronze and silver like our cup with a triton decoration, created as a counterpart of a cup decorated with a nereid. Thanks to his talent for the decorative arts, he became head of metalwork at the École municipale de Boulle and director of the École professionnelle des fabricants de Bronze et d'Orfèvrerie.
