"Un moulage sur nature" (A Casting from Life) is a significant 19th-century painting by the French artist Édouard Dantan, created in 1887. This work is notable for its detailed depiction of an artist's studio, providing insight into the practices and atmosphere of the period's art-making environments. The painting is an oil on canvas, measuring 130.5 by 195.6 cm, and is part of the collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen in France.

The painting captures a moment in an artist's foundry, showcasing the process of life casting, where a mold is taken directly from a living model. This method was a common practice among artists who sought to achieve a high level of realism in their sculptures. "Un moulage sur nature" is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of the studio's interior and the meticulous attention to detail in the textures and materials depicted, from the wet plaster to the tools and fabrics scattered around the workspace.

Dantan, born in 1848 and passing in 1897, was known for his genre scenes, portraits, and depictions of artists at work, often highlighting the behind-the-scenes aspects of artistic creation. "Un moulage sur nature" stands out in his oeuvre as a masterful example of his interest in the technical aspects of art-making and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the artistic milieu of his time. The painting not only offers a glimpse into the technical processes involved in sculpture but also reflects the broader artistic culture of the late 19th century, making it a valuable piece for understanding the period's art history.

Through "Un moulage sur nature," Dantan provides a window into the nuanced and labor-intensive processes that underpin the creation of art, celebrating the skill, dedication, and collaboration between artists and their models. This work remains an important reference for scholars and enthusiasts of 19th-century French art, offering insights into the practices and environments that shaped the era's artistic output.
