Biography :
Albert-Ernest Carrier de Belleuse known as Carrier-Belleuse (1824-1887) was one of the most prolific artists of the century and had the greatest successes under the Second Empire, enjoying the personal support of Napoleon III. His work was greatly influenced by the style of the Italian Renaissance and that of the 18th century, which he helped to bring up to date.
In 1837, the young Carrier-Belleuse apprenticed in the workshop of the engraver Bauchery. He was admitted soon after to the goldsmith Jacques Henri Fauconnier. Through François Arago, he met the sculptor David d'Angers who facilitated his admission to the School of Fine Arts. Carrier-Belleuse entered it in 1840. Noted for his skill by the great bronze companies in Paris such as Barbedienne and Denière, he soon received numerous orders for models for candelabras, pendulums, fittings for fireplaces, etc. In 1848, probably at the initiative of François Arago, who became head of state, he received his first public order for a small statue of "Mademoiselle Rachel singing La Marseillaise". In 1851, he appeared for the first time at the Salon of French Artists, where he presented two bronze medallions. From 1851 to 1855, Carrier-Belleuse stayed in England, in Stoke-on-Trent where he served as director of the modeling and drawing school of the Minton house, a large porcelain manufacturer.
Back in France, Carrier-Belleuse moved to Paris in a large workshop located 15 rue de la Tour d´Auvergne. From 1857, he made regular sendings to the Salon and became famous thanks to the success of large marbles, such as the "Bacchante" exhibited at the Salon in 1863, and acquired by Napoleon III, "Angelica" (1866) or even "Hebe asleep" (1869). At the Salon of 1867, his group entitled "Messiah" earned him the medal of honor of sculpture. It was acquired by the State to adorn the Chapel of the Virgin in the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church.
Carrier-Belleuse acquired a great reputation in parallel for his terracotta busts which, in many respects, recall those of 18th century artists. He made portraits of a large number of celebrities of his time. He produced, among others, the busts of Napoleon III, Renan, Thiers, Grévy, Arago, Marguerite Bellanger, Théophile Gautier, Honoré Daumier, Delacroix, Hortense Schneider, Réjane… He also modelled numerous busts of mythological inspiration and historical and artistic portraits like Marie Stuart, Shakespeare or even Mozart.
Carrier-Belleuse used and trained in his workshop in the rue de la Tour d´Auvergne many young talented artists such as Alexandre Falguière, Jules Desbois...

Sculpted c. 1912 while Hoffman with studying with Rodin. In 1912 she won First Prize the Paris Salon for her new modern way of sculpting movement in bronze with Russian Dancers (Anna Pavlova). Hoffman was the first, other followed her style.
About the sculpture
Vaslav Nijinsky (1889-1950). This bronze is a study from the dance L’apres-midi d’un faune (1910) with music by Debussy. It was a scandalous ballet performed with the Ballet Russes and Paris was in an uproar over his new modern style of choreography and overt sexuality. At the end of the ballet after toying with some nymphs Nijinski pleasures himself on stage with one of their scarves creating the scandal. Paris was in an uproar.
Nijinski begged Auguste Rodin to help him calm the critics. Rodin who was known for his eroticism, wrote a letter to the editor of Le Figaro explaining how great Nijinsky danced and exploded into well… you know. Anyway the French public now turned their energy against Rodin, forgetting Nijinsky. France was negotiating with Rodin to purchase his studio which would become the Musee Rodin after his death and they almost shut those talks down because of his letter to the editor.
