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.
