EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the renowned French sculptor and medallist, Pierre-Jean David D'Angers (1788-1856), in the later stages of his illustrious career. The image, taken around the 1850s, captures D'Angers in a thoughtful and introspective moment, as he leans on an elbow, deep in concentration. The sculptor's furrowed brow and intense gaze suggest the immense creativity and passion that fueled his artistic endeavors. Born in Bourges, France, D'Angers rose to prominence during the Empire period, becoming a favorite of Napoleon Bonaparte himself. He is best known for his innovative technique of creating sculptures using terracotta, a material that allowed him to achieve a lifelike quality and naturalism in his works. D'Angers' mastery of this medium earned him numerous accolades and commissions, including the creation of a series of busts of famous historical figures. Despite his success, D'Angers remained humble and dedicated to his craft. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal side of the artist, revealing the focus and determination that drove him to create some of the most captivating sculptures of the 19th century. The image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Pierre-Jean David D'Angers, a true master of French art.
