Vasse´'s "bambinelli" : The Child Portraits of an 18th-century French Sculptor

By Bernard Black

Vasse's greatest claim to glory is perhaps his really exquisite children's busts.....which herald and at times equal the delightful child portraits of Houden. This appreciation, by Louis Reau in 1930, typifies general opinion in the early decades of the century, when Louis-Claude Vasse's child portraits enchanted collectors and art historians by their liveliness and technical mastery.
