Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre (1829-1912)

Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre, famous French animal sculptor, born in Paris on March 29, 1829.

He studied painting with the painter Jean-Baptiste Delestre, before turning to sculpture.
His first exhibition took place at the “Salon des Artistes français” in 1848, with a wax sculpture representing “A Terrier holding a hare”.
It was from this moment that Paul-Edouard Delabrièrre devoted all his work to Animal Art.

Influenced by Antoine Louis Barye, E. Delabrièrre is considered one of the most important artists of the Animal School.
The Louvre welcomes “L'Equitation”, surely the largest group that E. Delabrièrre has ever done.
He exhibited at the "Salon des Artistes français" for around fifty years, from 1848 to 1898, and received an Honorable Mention in 1859 with his work "Indian Panther Devouring a Heron".
He is a member of the Society of French Artists.

Paul-Édouard Delabrièrre died in Paris in 1912.
