| biography:
| Sculptor, born in Paris, France. After being the curator of the Louvre during the Commune, he fled to England in 1871, and taught at the Royal College of Art, working on terra-cotta sculptures depicting family life. His realistic modelling influenced many English sculptors of the time. He returned to Paris in 1880 and realized his ambition to become a monumental sculptor by producing the largest monument of the Third Republic, entitled The Triumph of the Republic (1899), in the Place de la Nation, Paris. |
