Bill McGlaun Polychrome Bronze Sculpture~ Mourning Doves and Passion Flowers

Fine Art : Sculptures

 

Lifelike, cold painted, polychrome bronze from an edition of fifteen by acclaimed animalier bronze artist Bill McGlaun.

Though McGlaun's naturalistic approach to sculpting his subjects has been described as "extreme realism", the impetus for his love of wildlife sculpture was inspired by "The Aminaliers", a group of nineteen century sculptors of the Paris Salons.

Mourning Doves and Passion Flowers is a acrylic painted bronze that was commissioned as a gift to Pope John Paul from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in conjunction with the Italian Labor Union. For more information regarding this inspiring work you can visit his website.
