barye

Barye's place in the history of art is more nearly unique, perhaps, than that of any of the great artists.

These certainly were far from being trivial satisfactions, and Barye had also reaped a harvest of even subtler joys.

Cellini's "Perseus" is really more of a "parlor ornament" than Barye's smallest figure.

Perhaps he has seen them, and is standing—still as a Barye bronze—with his great, soft, wondering eyes riveted upon theirs.
