Arthur – Marie – Gabriel Count of Passage (1838-1909)
Arthur Du Passage is a famous French animal sculptor.
A former student of Saint-Cyr, a career officer in the cavalry, he took sculpture classes in the workshops of the sculptors Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875) and Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879).
While he was a second lieutenant in Maubeuge, he exhibited at the Salon in 1865.
He also produced sports drawings published in the newspapers of the time.
A fall from a horse ended his military career.
He then devoted himself entirely to sculpture, and produced animal models, sometimes hunting ones.
Furthermore, he became friends with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
The sculptor worked in his studio at the Château de Bernaville in Frohen, and regularly sent his works to the Salon des Artistes Français from 1865 to 1893.
One of the sculptor's most famous works is his "Horse in Training with its Lad."
In the years 1890-1910, he also exhibited regularly with his brother and his son at the former Orangerie of the Tuileries Palace, today the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, at the annual Exhibition of Painters and Sculptors of Hunting and Hunting.
He presents sculptures, but also drawings and paintings.
