Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (1824-1887) was one of the most important French sculptors of the 19th century and a remarkably versatile artist. He worked in England with the Minton pottery (1850-1855), served as artistic director at Sèvres porcelain manufactory from 1876, and maintained a busy Paris studio producing everything from monumental commissions to decorative terracottas.
Carrier-Belleuse is also notable for having employed Auguste Rodin as his assistant from 1864 to 1870. His own style ranged freely from unadorned realism to neo-Baroque exuberance and Rococo elegance. Our collection includes 3 works at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
