High quality Rude 'The Marseillaise' Keyring in antique brass, for a gift or a souvenir of Paris. François Rude (4 January 1784 - 3 November 1855) was a French sculptor. His great success dates from 1833, when he received the cross of the Legion of Honour for his statue of a Neapolitan Fisher Boy playing with a Tortoise (now in the Louvre), which also procured for him the important commission for all the sculptural frieze ornament and one group on the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris. This group, 'Départ des volontaires de 1792' (Departure of the Volunteers of 1792), also known as 'La Marseillaise', a work full of energy and fire, immortalizes the name of Rude. The Marseillaise of Rude is seen every year on the Triumph Arch of Paris by millions of visitors. Pattern: Rude 'The Marseillaise' high-relief, reproduced in low-relief. Material: 100% antique brass (alloy of bronze and zinc). Sizes : Medium ≈ 8cm2 / 1.24in2 and Large ≈ 13cm2 / 2. 02in2.
