Works of Art I Know

Louis XIV at the Age of Five, 1643

Jacques Sarazin, French 

My First Reactions: 

This sculpture uses the use of texture so that it provides more life and depth to the sculpture without any color. Texture is used on the hair, clothing, and wreath especially well. I think texture was made with some sort of fire or metal tools because the bust is made out of pure bronze and for that reason Sarazin would not have been able to use his bare hands to mold and form it.
