About the Item
Godefroid Devreese (19 August 1861 – 31 August 1941) was a Belgian sculptor. He first studied with his father, then continued his studies at the academies in Kortrijk and Bruxelles from 1881 to 1886, having as teachers famous sculptors such as Eugène Simonis and Charles van der Stappen. He was one of Belgium’s most renowned medal designers, and he was also known for his sculptures, monuments and fountains in France and Belgium. He became a close friend of the architect Victor Horta, with whom he collaborated on various projects. Indeed, Victor Horta drew the plans for the workshop that Godefroid Devreese occupied in Schaerbeek and now bears his name, Rue Godefroid Devreese. In 1885 he won the Prix de Rome before turning entirely to medal art in 1890.

Located in Leuven , BE
Saint Erasmus or Saint Elmo (Antioch, ca. 240 – Formia, 303) was an Italian bishop and patron saint of the sailors. His attribute was the capstan, a winch on which the anchor chains were rolled up.

A Patinated Bronze Statue of a Seated Greek Scholar signed Moreau
By Mathurin Moreau
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
A patinated cast bronze statue of a classically draped Greek scholar sitting sideways on a Klismos chair with the trademark griphons as front leg supports, the subject holding a pen in his right hand and an open scroll on the other left signed "Moreau" inscribed on one side of the chair.

In 1841, the 19 year old Mathirin entered the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and, the following year, won the Second Grand Prix de Rome with his sculpture Diodemus removing the Palladium. Several of his works remain on public display in Paris, among them on the facade of the Gare du Nord...
