"The Derby Winner" by Pierre-Jules Mêne

 Pierre-Jules Mêne (French, 1810-1879) sculpted his famous Vainqueur du Derby or The Derby Winner in 1863.  Ours is a particularly fine contemporary casting with great detail.  The most popular of Mene's racing studies, The Derby Winner is thought to represent the 1862 Derby Winner Caractacus.  Please click on the thumbnail images above to see additional views. We have cast this horse sculpture in our own California art foundry using 80 lbs.

MENE" in its bronze base. This is a fine bronze sculpture, made to high standards.  We guarantee your satisfaction. For more information or to arrange international shipment, please send email to info@artbronze.com or call us at 818.841.7979.
