Alfred Barye

He learned his craft of animalier sculptor under the watchful eye of his father who was one of the original pioneers of animal sculpture in the mid-to-late 19th century.

Although a fine artist in his own right, he struggled to create his own identity living in the shadow of his more famous father.

Alfred Barye typically used mid-brown patinas but would sometimes add green[3] (a color famously used by his father) and auburn-colored hues in the patination process.

Antoine-Louis was particularly finicky with his patinas and would not allow other foundries to apply them, preferring to do it himself for appearance and quality control purposes.

He received posthumous "honourable mention" in the 1897 Salon for the work Aide Fauconnier Indien, Retour de Chasse à la Gazelle.
