The chimpanzee is a particularly outstanding sculpture of Auguste Tr\u00e9mont’s work as it was the first to have been cast in bronze. It is due to the generosity of a physician, Dr Schneider who, during the 1924 summer, came across the model of a Chimpanzee the artist had made in clay and encouraged Tr\u00e9mont to cast it in bronze, offering to bear all relating expenses. Only two original models in bronze have been inventoried so far : the first one currently housed by the Mus\u00e9e National d’Histoire et d’Art du Luxembourg known as the Bouncing chimpanzee <\/em>and our sculpture, numbered 2, which was displayed at the 1927 Salon de la S\u00e9cession in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 Tr\u00e9mont here features a remarkable model of a chimpanzee walking, of which he captured masterfully the imposing stride while bringing out its character and impressive presence. Most representative of the artist’s style, this model also came in a smaller version, in glazed stone by the Manufacture de S\u00e8vres.<\/p>\n

To the question as to why he became an animal sculptor, Auguste Tr\u00e9mont answered: ‘because it was the most difficult’.<\/p>\n
