Biography :
Charles Delhommeau (1883-1970) was a French sculptor. After a brief career as a bust portraitist, he became an animal sculptor. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon of the French Artists in 1904 with a plaster “Chat au feu”. Delhommeau exhibited regularly at the Salon of the National Fine Arts Society, of which he became an associate member in 1913 and a full member in 1932.
In 1938, on the recommendation of his sculptor friend Louis de Monard, Delhommeau collaborated with the Sèvres Porcelain Manufacture. Parts making up a centerpiece was delivered to the French government in December 1942.
As for his animal subjects observed at length at the Jardin des Plantes and at the Vincennes Zoo, they were the subject of very careful and limited editions.
