Title	Rattlesnake
Description	6.5 x 7' cast bronze, mounted on 1 x 3.5 x 8' green marble; Remington attempted to portray people and events in as natural and realistic a manner as he knew how. He traveled to the western parts of the American continent to paint and sculpt images from that region. He studied his subject with a close eye and paid great attention to details. In 1895 he began exploring the possibilities of expressing his art in bronze. He had a facination with movement and form, which led him to achieve a huge success. Until his death, Remington completed about two bronzes a year. This sculpture is a reproduction of an original sculpture by Remington. See VF 116 for description of how the lost wax bronze casting process was used to create this sculpture.
