DESCRIPTION

AGAPIT VALLMITJANA I ABARCA (Barcelona, 1850 - 1915).
"The brave one".
Patinated terracotta.
Signed on the back.
Presents chipped on one side.
Restoration in a leg of the dog.

This terracotta is a model used for the final sculpture "El Bravo", with measurements of 255 x 70 x 80 cm in marble. It represents a man dressed in a classical tunic. By his attitude, holding a huge dog of prey, it seems an allegory of the Roman Circus.

Son of the sculptor Venanci Vallmitjana i Barbany, and his disciple at the School of La Llotja in Barcelona, Agapit Vallmitjana began his activity in 1883 when he opened a workshop with his father, where he also exhibited his works. He would later combine his artistic activity with teaching, which he would do from 1902 at La Llotja. He was known above all for his work in the animalistic genre, having created numerous sculptural groups featuring wild animals, especially lions. He became known in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, being awarded third and second class medals in the editions of 1884 and 1908. He is currently represented in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Museum of Modern Art of Madrid, the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona and the Palace of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and has public monuments in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.
