Au Contraire!
Coq Français (circa 1875), a sand-cast bronze by French sculptor
Prosper Le Courtier (1851–1924); 15 3 / 4 " (40cm) tall. Best known
for his sculptures of dogs—although his work encompasses all
forms of animals.
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, there was a reemer-
gence in French patriotism. The defiant French cock became a
symbol once again of the country’s newly revived self-assurance.
This bronze depicts that renewed patriotism together with the
strong symbols of the anvil and forge of the new industrial age.
