Description

Experience the Call of the Wild—Frozen in Bronze

Heroic Elk is more than a sculpture—it’s a living monument to the raw power and primal grace of North America’s most majestic animal. Created by internationally acclaimed wildlife sculptor Lorenzo Ghiglieri (1931–2020), this life-sized bronze captures the elk mid-stride, muscles tensed, antlers crowned, and voice lifted in a commanding call to the untamed.

This isn’t a reproduction. This is a certified, museum-worthy original, signed by the artistendorsed by H.J. Nick and backed by ArtFactory.com’s 111-year legacy of fine art craftsmanship.

Forged Through Tradition: How Heroic Elk Is Made

Every edition of Heroic Elk is hand-cast using the ancient lost-wax method—a technique passed down from the great bronze masters of the Renaissance. This ensures that every muscle, hair, and detail from Ghiglieri’s original clay sculpture is preserved in stunning, lifelike accuracy.

Once cast, the sculpture is:

  • Hand-finished by master artisans

  • Patinated by fire to reveal depth and tone

  • Completed under the direction of Mark Russo at Foundry Michelangelo in Battle Ground, Washington

This elite level of craftsmanship is what sets Heroic Elk apart as a true heirloom and investment-grade fine art piece.


About the Artist: Lorenzo Ghiglieri

Lorenzo Ghiglieri is considered one of the greatest wildlife and patriotic sculptors of our time. His monumental bronzes are housed in:

  • The White House

  • The Vatican

  • Presidential collections

  • Royal estates and museums around the globe

Heroic Elk continues this tradition of excellence—paying tribute to the rugged American frontier and the wild spirit that helped shape it.


"When Lorenzo sculpted the Heroic Elk, he was capturing more than anatomy—he was expressing the very spirit of the American West. This piece is freedom frozen in bronze."
— Mark Russo, Foundry Michelangelo
