. Barye : vita e opere di Antoine Louis Barye ... in memoria di una mostra dei suoi bronzi, dipinti, e acquerelli, tenuto a New York, in aiuto del fondo per il suo monumento a Parigi. Il leone è poule appena più della maschera convenzionale che troviamo su molti Greekcoins anche se lo strappo della carne della coscia dai leoni clawsis ben reso. Il meglio della medaglia è il Milo. Entrambe le mani nel tronco d'albero che ha intrapreso per dividere con un vain-glorioustust nella sua forza superumana, gira la testa e guarda giù il leone con l'aria di un uomo abituato a vanqui

The best of the medal is the Milo. Both handscaught in the tree-trunk he has undertaken to split with a vain-glorioustrust in his superhuman strength, he turns his head and looks down onthe lion with the air of a man accustomed to vanquish the king of beastsand therefore unable to realize that his own death is near. He is devis-ing means to kill the Hon instead of giving way to despair. We shallfind about his human figures in later life the same invincible calm ofhuman superiority.
