Panthère en marche, terre cuite attribuée à Rioto, vers 1945

Tête basse, épaules roulantes, la panthère avance d'un pas mesuré sur une terrasse rocheuse, la queue relevée en crosse. Le sculpteur a gardé la forme compacte, presque ramassée en un seul volume, et laisse l'outil marquer la surface de fines hachures qui animent le pelage. Les pattes, larges et lourdes, se posent à plat sur la pierre. Une teinte brune et chaude, plus claire sur les reliefs, unifie l'animal et son socle. La tête, tournée vers le regard, rompt la longue horizontale du corps.

Cuite à basse température, autour de 1000 degrés, la terre cuite offre au sculpteur un travail plus simple et moins coûteux que le bronze. Le sujet renvoie au répertoire animalier, dont le nom apparaît à Paris au début du XIXe siècle autour d'Antoine-Louis Barye, et que François Pompon ou Rembrandt Bugatti ont illustré. La galerie attribue la pièce à Rioto, qu'elle présente comme un artiste italien établi à Paris. Ce nom n'a pas été retrouvé dans les sources consultées, et l'œuvre se lit d'abord par sa sculpture.

Read in English

Head low, shoulders rolling, the panther moves at a measured pace across a rocky terrace, its tail raised in a crook. The sculptor has kept the form compact, gathered almost into a single volume, and lets the tool mark the surface with fine hatching that animates the coat. The paws, broad and heavy, press flat on the stone. A warm brown tone, lighter on the high points, unites the animal and its base. The head, turned toward the viewer, breaks the long horizontal of the body.

Fired at low temperature, around 1000 degrees, terracotta offers the sculptor a simpler and less costly process than bronze. The subject belongs to the animalier repertoire, a term that arose in Paris in the early nineteenth century around Antoine-Louis Barye and that François Pompon and Rembrandt Bugatti went on to illustrate. The gallery attributes the piece to Rioto, whom it presents as an Italian artist settled in Paris. The name could not be found in the sources consulted, and the work is read first through its sculpture.
