Artist, man of letters and aesthetician, the career of the sculptor Etienne Maurice Falconet (1716 - 1791) is particularly exemplary.
Overcoming the handicap of his birth, this brilliant self-taught man with an extraordinary personality rubbed shoulders with the greatest.
Protégé of Mme de Pompadour, friend of Diderot and the Encyclopedists, he was able to impose himself by his talent and his culture.
The works executed at the church of Saint Roch and his position as director of sculpture at the Manufacture de Sèvres are in a way the prelude to his work in Saint Petersburg.

French Terracotta Sculpture Nude Woman "Premiere Faute" - by LAMI - Art Nouveau
By Stanislas Lami
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Female nude in terracotta.
Signed "St. Lami" on the base. Stanislas Lami is a French sculptor.
Stamp mark "Terracotta - R. D'ARLY Paris".
This work inspires purity and delicacy.
The sculpture represents a kneeling naked woman, the features are fine and pleasant. The work is neat and delicate. The position of the woman calls for calm and tranquility.
Our terracotta proof is a reduction of Stanislas Lami's marble entitled "Première Faute" which earned him the second medal at the Salon of 1891. The work represents a young woman kneeling, her arms modestly covering her face with closed eyes. At the dawn of the 20th century, this elegant statuette was part of the symbolist movement and announced the Art Nouveau movement.
This beautiful work was included in the second edition of the artist's catalog raisonné.
Related literature:
Grégoire de Thoury, Stanislas Lami (1858-1944), catalog raisonné of sculptures, Paris, 2014, model listed under number FA12.
More widely known for his masterful literary work, Stanilas Lami is an artist as much as a scholarly amateur.
Son of the sculptor Alphonse Lami, grandson of the neoclassical painter Bidauld, son-in-law of the art dealer Charles Sedelmeyer, he benefited all his life from an environment favorable to the promotion and commissioning of his written or sculpted works.
While he wrote his famous dictionaries of sculptors of the French School throughout his career, over around forty years, he also exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes français between 1882 and 1942.
Wonderful decorative piece.
Beautiful dimensions.
France - Art Nouveau - 1891
Stanislas Lami, born in 1858 in Paris and died in 1944, was a French sculptor and art historian. He is the grandson of landscape painter François-Xavier Bidault and the son of sculptor Alphonse Lami.

Titus Roman Emperor, terracotta round end 19th century.
Diameter 31cm.
thickness 6cm.
weigh 8kg.
Material terracotta.
Very good condition.
Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasian Augustus (in Latin: Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP•T•CAESAR•VESPASIANUS•AVG•PON•M•TR•POT[1]; Rome, 30 December 39 – Aquae Cutiliae, 13 September 81, better known simply as Titus, was a Roman emperor, belonging to the Flavian dynasty, and reigned for just over two years from 79 to 81, the year of his death.
Before ascending the throne, Titus was an able and esteemed general who distinguished himself for the repression of the rebellion in Judea in 70, during which the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. He was considered a good emperor by Tacitus and other contemporary historians; he is known for his program of public works in Rome and for his generosity in rescuing the population following two disastrous events: the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and the fire in Rome in 80. Famous is the definition that the historian Suetonius gave of him:
"Amor ac deliciae generis humani. » « Love and delight of mankind. »
Titus' family, the gens Flavia, belonged to that Italian nobility which, in the first half of the first century, was gradually replacing the more ancient Roman aristocracy, weakened by the decades of civil wars fought in the first century BC. The Flavians, in fact, were not of noble origins, but they managed, within just three generations, to rise from humble origins to the honor of the imperial purple. Tito's paternal great-grandfather, Tito Flavio Petrone from Rieti, had fought as a centurion evocatus in the army of Gnaeus Pompey the Great during the civil war of 49-45 BC, fighting in the battle of Farsalo and fleeing after the defeat of the Pompeians; he was pardoned by Cesare and became tax collector...
