About the Item

Paul Dubois & F. Barbidienne Fondeur, Florentine singer, French bronze sculpture, circa 1869 Signed by the artist, P.DVBOIS, and dated: 1869. Foundry stamp: "F. Barbidienne Fondeur" and a stamp: "Reduction mechanique - A. Collas - Brevette". This sculpture is one of Paul Dubois' best known works The Musée d'Orsay in Paris holds a version of this sculpture in bronze cast by Maison Barbedienne, as well. This Extraordinarily rendered from the artistic and technical point of view, this sculpture depicts a Florentine singer of the 15th century. The version of this masterwork in Musée d'Orsay is 1.55 meters high. Dubois had put the plaster version of the work in the Paris Salon exhibition of 1865 and it had won him a "médaille d'honneur". Barbedienne produced limited editions in six different sizes between 1865 and 1953 and the Sèvres factory also produced versions of it in biscuit, in three different sizes. It is, therefore, a work often seen in France, and it was also exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867 and 1889. Paul Dubois (1829 –1905) was a French sculptor and painter from Nogent-sur-Seine, France. His works were mainly sculptures and statues, though he was also known as a wonderful portrait painter. Paul Dubois was born on the 18 July 1829 in Nogent-sur-Seine, France. He began studying law to please his father who practiced as a notary, but gave this up in order to train as a sculptor; his enthusiasm for this possibly fanned by the admiration he had for the work of his great-uncle Jean-Baptiste Pigalle. When making his debut at the Paris Salon in 1857 he did so under the name Dubois-Pigalle. In 1858 he entered the atelier of Armand Toussaint at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts. The following year he travelled to Rome, studying and copying the many great sculptures and mixed with the likes of Henri Chapu, Alexandre Falguière and Georges Bizet. As an artist he did not have to struggle with financial problems as his family supported all his studies. He stayed in Rome for 4 years and whilst in Rome he executed the works Saint Jean-Baptiste and Narcisse and, in 1863, was awarded "une médaille de 2° classe" by the Paris Salon for work sent to Paris from Rome. When he returned to France he completed the study of a young troubadour, Chanteur florentin du XVe siècle, a work which was to bring him such popular success. In 1865 and 1876, he was awarded a médaille d'honneur at the Salon des beaux-arts. In June 1867 he was named Chevalier (Knight) of the Légion d'honneur; in July 1874 he was named Officer of the Légion d'honneur; in July 1886 he was promoted to Commander of the Légion d'honneur; and in 1889 he was decorated with the Grand Croix (Grand Cross) of the Légion d'honneur. His success was not limited to sculpture and as a painter he was in much demand for portraits and after 1870 he gave as much time and effort to his painting as to his sculpture. Dubois died from pneumonia in 1905. The artist's main works can be seen Musée d'Orsay, Le Louvre, Académie de Médecine Paris, Musée Condé in Chantilly; as well as many important monuments in Paris, Nantes, Belgium etc.
