Louis Félix de La Rue
France
Louis Félix de La Rue is a France Baroque artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Louis Félix de La Rue carved playful 18th-century sculptures of mythical kids and satyrs. One piece shows baby satyrs wrestling with a panther in glossy brown clay on a marble base. Another places Venus in Vulcan’s fiery workshop, mixing gods and human-sized drama. Both pieces feel lighter than stone thanks to the artist’s lacquered terracotta technique. Next, tap the playful Infant satyrs with grapes and feel the toy-like curves he loved to shape.
