Pixi Bronze Figurine Asterix: Freedom Enlightening the World

Pixi Bronze Asterix: Liberty illuminating the world in bronze

Bronze gives this composition a character that only belongs to this material: the warm hue of the burnished metal, the surface which changes color depending on the lighting, the weight in the hand. Asterix in the pose of the Statue of Liberty carries the torch with the seriousness of the character who plays the game of staging, and the bronze amplifies this monumental dimension on a reduced scale.

The bronze surface is worked with techniques specific to this material: the reliefs of the Gallic costume, the torch, the sandals are treated with a different finish depending on the area, darker in the hollows, lighter on the reliefs. It's not painting over the metal: it's the material itself that does the work.

A bronze edition in the Pixi Asterix catalogue

The bronze editions of Pixi are the rarest in the catalogue and the most distinct from the usual painted metal series. The material alone distinguishes the piece, without the need for an exceptional edition number to indicate it.

Numbered, original box and certificate.
