Biography :
Jules Felix Coutan known as Jules Coutan (1848-1939) was a French sculptor. He was a student of Jules Cavelier at the School of Fine Arts in Paris where he was later a teacher, and had as students, among others, the sculptors Raymond Delamarre, Louis Leygue and the sculptor Aimée-Carole Gombaut. He won the Rome Prize in 1872 for "Ajax braving the Gods and thunderbolt" and was boarder at the Villa Medicis from 1873 to 1876. Jules Coutan was elected a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1900.
Among his most famous works, Jules Coutan realized the "Fountain of Progress" at the Champ-de-Mars for the Universal Exhibition of Paris of 1889. He was then rewarded with a gold medal; "The Eagle Hunters", in 1900, a high relief in plaster, exposed to the Paris Orsay Museum. The bronze is now exposed in the anthropology gallery of the National Museum of Natural History, commissioned by the French State under the title "The Human Races" ; "The Glory of Commerce", sculpture decorating Grand Central Terminal in New York ; "France at the Renaissance", an ornamental statue placed at the base of the pylon of Alexandre III bridge in Paris; or the monumental portico of the pavilion where the products of the Manufacture de Sèvres were exhibited during the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris.

MASTER ANGEL
Museum sculpture of the master of Mauer
Austrian Danube Region
Around 1500/20
Lime wood, carved full round
Height 55 cm
Provenance:
Hofstätter Collection, Vienna
The masterful sculpture was made in the workshop of the master of the altar of Mauer around 1500 in Lower Austria. It can be located in the context of the Danube school of the first third of the 16th century, was carved from limewood and is 55 cm tall. Since there are no attributes or context, it is an unknown figure of a carved altar.
The master of the altar of Mauer is an anonymous Gothic carver who was active between 1500 and 1525 and received this so-called emergency name through the altar for the parish and pilgrimage church of Mauer near Melk. This winged altar was probably commissioned by Göttweig Abbey in the 1470s and is made of lime wood. It shows an expression in the transition from late Gothic to early Renaissance and is considered the most important carved altar in Lower Austria, created between 1510-15.
The figure presented here is very related in its design to the figures of the altar of Mauer. In lively-moving form, the male figure turns his upper body to the right, with his head pointing upward, probably toward the sky. The right leg in lunge emerges from under the frock...
