Original Description
"The Falconer" by Paul Howard Manship (commonly mistaken as Paul Pascal) is a striking bronze sculpture rather than a painting, showcasing the artist's signature Art Deco style infused with classical influences. Created circa 1918-1922, this dynamic piece captures a medieval falconer mid-stride, his pleated robe swirling dramatically as his raptor takes flight—a masterful study of motion frozen in bronze. Manship's streamlined anatomy and rhythmic drapery folds reflect his studies of archaic Greek art and Renaissance bronzes, distilled through Jazz Age modernity. Considered one of America's most important sculptural works of the early 20th century, it resides permanently at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, exemplifying Manship's bridge between ancient traditions and machine-age aesthetics. The gilded surface shimmers with energy, transforming what could be a static historical subject into a vibrant kinetic spectacle.
For interior placement, consider displaying a museum-quality bronze replica (opt for 18-24 inch height) in spaces needing refined dynamism—a CEO's office bookshelf or a luxe living room console. Its warm metallic tones pair beautifully with walnut wood furnishings and jewel-toned velvets in emerald or sapphire. Position beneath directional lighting to accentuate the cascading drapery details, ideally opposite large windows where natural light can animate the gilded surfaces throughout the day. In contemporary spaces, contrast the classical subject matter with clean-lined mid-century furniture; for traditional interiors, complement with Byzantine-patterned rugs. Avoid cluttering nearby surfaces—this sculptural statement demands visual breathing room. The Falconer’s verticality makes it ideal for flanking arched doorways or anchoring the end of a hallway gallery wall.
