Albert-Ernest CARRIER-BELLEUSE (1824 - 1887) Terracotta bust of a young woman
About the Item
Albert-Ernest CARRIER-BELLEUSE (Anizy-le-Château, 1824 - Sèvres, 1887). Very beautiful bust of a young woman, terracotta with attractive patina. Perfect condition without base. Very beautiful object, rare, finely detailed. Around 1870.
Albert-Ernest Carrier de Belleuse, who was known as Carrier-Belleuse or often simply Carrier, was born in Anizy-le-Château on June 12, 1824, and passed away in Sèvres on June 3, 1887. He was a renowned French sculptor.
Throughout the 19th century, he stood out as one of the most prolific artists and garnered significant acclaim during the Second Empire, receiving personal support from Napoleon III. His artistic creations bore a strong influence from the styles of the Italian Renaissance and the 18th century, contributing to their revival and popularity.
Carrier-Belleuse played a vital role in advancing the fields of decorative and industrial arts. His Paris workshop was a hub of creative activity, with numerous artists, including the renowned Auguste Rodin, collaborating and producing a plethora of decorative statuettes.
In the later years of his life, Carrier-Belleuse assumed the role of director of artistic works at the esteemed Sèvres Manufacture. Under his guidance, the collections underwent renewal, and the artistic style embraced modernisation. His statues are exhibited in museums and prominent public places throughout the world.

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.
