Biography Paul Philippe
Paul Philippe (1870–1930) was a French sculptor who worked during the late 19th and early 20th century. His work primarily consisted of bronze sculptures done in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco genres.

Philippe was born in France circa 1870. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts* in Paris, France, under the direction of Antonin Larroux (1859–1913).

He specialized in bronze and chryselephantine sculptures that featured young women. A number of the pieces he created were of figures in the nude, which was popular during the era he worked in. He worked for a time in Berlin, sometimes employing the Rosenthal und Maeder (R.U.M.) and Preiss-Kassler foundries to cast his work.
