Biographies :
Paul Grandhomme (1851-1944) was a French painter, enameler, goldsmith and medalist. He was the student of the painter and jeweler Auguste Mollard (1836-1916) and presented in 1874, at the Salon of French Artists, a neo-Renaissance enameled portrait, "Vittoria Colonna". Determined to improve himself, he entered the workshop of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898), took advice from Jules-Élie Delaunay (1828-1891) and was influenced by his friend the painter Raphaël Collin (1850-1916). Mastering his technique, Grandhomme then approached Gustave Moreau (1826-1898), and transposed the artist's poetic paintings into enamel, which enjoyed great success at the Salon.
In 1877, Paul Grandhomme's student was Alfred Garnier (1848-1908), an engraver on hard stones and metal who completed his training in the workshop of Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889). Both then created and signed works together. They joined forces in 1888 and presented in 1890, at the Salon of the Society of French Artists, a "Virgin" after Carlo Crivelli as well as a portrait of King Edward VII, then in 1895, exhibited at the Salon of French Artists, after Gustave Moreau, "Sapho", "Léda" and "Youth and Immortality" (now kept at the Orsay Museum). Paul Grandhomme and Alfred Garnier collaborated on their creations until 1895.

Biography:
Léonard Agathon Van Weydeveldt, said Agathon Léonard (1841-1923) was a sculptor of Belgian origin naturalized French. After studying art at the Lille Academy of Fine Arts and then at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Agathon Léonard settled in Paris for a long time, where after having exhibited at the Salon of 1868, he joined the Society of French artists in 1887, then to the National Society of Fine Arts in 1897. Very involved in the artistic movement of the Art Nouveau style, he exhibited many pieces (medallions, bronze statuettes and ceramics) finely worked.
Following an order from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, dating from 1898, Agathon Léonard exhibited at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris his famous table centerpiece "Game of the scarf" in porcelain biscuit, composed of fifteen statuettes representing dancers with pleated dresses reminiscent of Loïe Fuller's choreographies or Neo-Greek dancers...
