Antoine Louis Barye (1796-1875) and his son, Alfred Barye (1839-1882) were French sculptors, most famous for his depiction of animals,

Antoine Louis Barye was born in Paris and took up sculpture in 1817, working in the studios of Bosio & Gros.

In 1819 he took part in the competition of the Ecole des Beaux Arts where he was runner up. Barye exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1827 onwards.

In a career spanning half a century his output was prodigious; his bronzes are imbued with realism and there is meticulous attention to anatomical detail.

Alfred Barye learnt the art of sculpture and casting from his father, but he is always considered subordinate in skills to his father. He is known to have produced numerous casts of famous racehorses of the day, and exhibited a racehorse at the Paris Salon in each of the years from 1864 to 1866.

There more... is often confusion between the works of the two, as both father and son sometimes used the same signature. A review of the objects on this page will show some signed 'Barye' or 'A. Barye' which could be either the father or son. less...
