Pierre Jules Mene
French, 1810 - 1879
Pierre Jules Mêne (1810-1879) was a French sculptor who specialized in animal sculptures, particularly horses. He was born in Paris and trained under the sculptor François Rude, who was known for his monumental public works. Mêne began his career by creating bronze sculptures of dogs, which were popular with wealthy Parisians. He later expanded his repertoire to include other animals, such as horses, deer, and bulls.
Mêne's sculptures are characterized by their attention to detail and naturalistic poses, which capture the spirit and movement of the animals he depicts. His work was highly sought after during his lifetime, and he received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the field of animal sculpture. Today, his sculptures can be found in museums and private collections around the world, and they remain highly valued for their beauty and craftsmanship.
