Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, 1824 - 1887, was one of the most important sculptors of the 19th century. He studied briefly at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and debuted at the Salon of 1850 with two bronze medals. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Carrier-Belleuse had a career that expanded beyond France, between 1850-1855, he worked at Mintons, in England. Then on 1871, he worked in Brussels as well as at Sevres. His most famous assistant was Auguste Rodin, who worked alongside Carrier-Belleuse from 1864-1870. During his time in Brussels, the pair worked on Carrier-Belleuse's sculpture at the Brussels Stock Exchange. Pierre Kjellberg, Bronzes of the 19th Century.

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse
Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was a French sculptor. Carrier-Belleuse was born on 12th June 1824 at Anizy-le-Château, Aisne, France. He began his training as a goldsmith's apprentice. He was a student of David d'Angers and briefly studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. His career is distinguished by his versatility and his work outside France, in England between 1850–55 and in Brussels around 1871. His name is perhaps best known because Auguste Rodin worked as his assistant between 1864 and 1870. The two traveled to Brussels in 1871 and by some accounts, Rodin assisted Carrier-Belleuse's architectural sculpture for the Brussels Stock Exchange.
