Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was one of the most influential French sculptors of the 19th century. A founding member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and an officer of the Légion d’honneur, he was celebrated throughout Europe for his expressive, elegant style. He served as artistic director at the Sèvres porcelain manufactory and mentored a young Auguste Rodin, who later credited Carrier-Belleuse with shaping his early sculptural language.
A favorite of the Parisian public, Carrier-Belleuse enjoyed immense popularity. As noted in the catalogue of the 1878 Universal Exhibition, “Even the English come from London to ask him to work for them.” Today, his works are held in major museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
