Adolphe Itasse was an important French sculptor born in Lourmarin in 1829, who died in Paris in 1893. He studied under Belloc and Jacquot and exhibited at the Salon from 1864–93. Itasse worked on several important public commissions for the Louvre (Retour de la Chasse), the Opera (Philidor, Puccini, Cambert), the Trocadero Palace (L’Astronomie) and Hotel de Ville de Paris (La Vapeur; Le Gaz). He specialized in portrait busts and reliefs, including those of contemporary personalities. Itasse also sculpted several genres and allegorical works, such as The Kiss, The Birth of Love, Astronomy and Science. Amongst other awards, he won a medal at the 1875 Salon and an honorable mention at the Universal Exhibition of 1889.
