About the Item
This terra cotta bust of a monsignor from Dinard, France is signed by the artist with the accompanying date of 1912. An engraving under the left shoulder indicates that the bust was a gift to a Monsignor Blanchet, a well-respected parish priest of Dinard. Msgr Blanchet is depicted wearing a four peak biretta with a mounted tuft. He is also clad in a cassock with an ornate embellishment of flowers and a scrolled motif. In the back is a small hood above lace frill that is attached to the vestment trim. Supported by a rectangular base, our terra cotta bust from Dinard shows excellent proportion and realistic detail. It would look fantastic in a small niche or sitting on a console or center table.

circa 1880 French Plaster Sculpture of Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
Located in Dallas, TX
Made in plaster, circa 1880, this interesting French sculpture depicts Francois Rene de Chateaubriand sitting with his legs crossed in an armchair. A rolled scroll is in his right hand, which rests on his thigh and books and scrolls are strewn beneath the chair. Chateaubriand’s long overcoat is unbuttoned and gathered, showing an elegant frock and bowtie ensemble beneath. Beneath the chair is a shaped plinth with cavetto molding on all sides and “Chateaubriand” incised along the front.
Francois Rene de Chateaubriand was born in Saint-Malo, France in 1768, the youngest of 10 children. A noted politician, historian, and author, Chateaubriand had a profound effect on literature, being the first major figure of Romanticism. Chateaubriand was also the original man of letters, a group of French authors that also had burgeoning political careers. A fellow man of letter, Victor Hugo was so inspired by Chateaubriand that he is known for having said “To be Chateaubriand or nothing”. This French plaster sculpture...
