Sheet size 16 x 12 inches. “Fernand Guignier was a student of the sculptors Emil Derré and Jean-Antoine Injalbert at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris . Between 1926 and 1960 he took part in the Salon des Artistes Français in the Palais de Tokyo sixteen times . In the sculpture category he exhibited numerous busts and statues. In 1938 he took part with the plaster statue Rêverie , which depicts a seated child, and in 1943 again showed a saint figure closely linked to the history of Paris: the figure of St. Genoveva . Then in 1946 the torso of an athlete and in 1947 the plaster statue Naïade . As an artist, he was very connected to the Montmartre district of Paris . He made a sculpture of St. Dionysius (French: St-Denis) for a fountain in Square Suzanne-Buisson , who was the first bishop of Paris to be beheaded on a hill around the year 250 (“I'd rather give my head before I am unfaithful to my faith ”). Since then it has been called the "Mountain of Martyrs" (Montmartre). According to legend, he is said to have walked with his head in hands to his present-day grave, St-Denis. [1]Guignier places the saint there as if he were leaning on his hands in a thoughtful pose. From a side angle you can see that he is holding his severed head in both hands. [2] As a painter, too, Guigner remained loyal to Paris and the Montmartre district. Numerous oil paintings, sketches and watercolors show the area around the quarter as well as other popular areas of downtown Paris such as the Notre Dame Cathedral , the Place de la Concorde and the Île de la Cité . “ - Wikipedia
