Our Lady Of Miracles - Auguste Courcoux - Manufacture Henriot - Brittany

Henriot Manufactory.
Polychrome earthenware, circa 1950.
Small chip on thecrown, repaired.

This earthenware piece is not signed bythe artist, but Mr. Maigné, in his book *Terres Sacrées*,on page 146, made a compelling comparison between a plaque createdby Auguste Courcoux and this statuary (see attached photo).

Auguste Courcoux (1871 –1956):

An architect and artist, Auguste Courcoux was born in Lannion into a family of builders. Descended from a line of architects, he carried on a family tradition deeply rooted in Brittany.

His name is notably associated with several religious buildings in the Côtes-d’Armor department, including the Sainte-Anne Chapel in Trégastel and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Chapel in Dahouët, Pléneuf-Val-André. He was also involved in the restoration of the Beaumanoir estate, for which he designed a new wing and outbuildings in the late 19th century.
