National Sporting Library: "Pierre-Jules Mene Sporting Bronzes From the Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts" is on exhibit through Aug. 23 at the National Sporting Library's Forrest E. Mars Sr. Exhibit Hall, 102 The Plains Road in Middleburg.
The exhibit is free. The library's hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturday, 1-4 p.m.
One of the foremost animaliers of his day, Mene (1810-1879) was best known for his naturalistic and engaging small sculptures of animals and sporting scenes. His works represent a gentle and emotive view of the natural world, a perspective that distinguishes Mene from the passion-filled and sometimes violent Romanticism of contemporary Antoine-Louis Barye's (1796-1875) animal sculptures.
