Albert-Ernest Carrier de Belleuse said Carrier-Belleuse, born in Anizy-le-Château on June 12, 1824 and died in Sèvres on June 3, 1887, is a French sculptor. He was one of the most prolific artists of the century and had the greatest success under the Second Empire, benefiting from the personal support of Napoleon III. His work was greatly influenced by the style of the Italian Renaissance and that of the 18th century, which he helped bring up to date. Carrier-Belleuse strongly contributed to the improvement of the decorative and industrial arts. From his studio no. 15 rue de la Tour d'Auvergne in Paris, in which a large number of artists worked, including Auguste Rodin, came a prodigious quantity of decorative statuettes. Carrier-Belleuse was, towards the end of his life, director of works of art at the Manufacture de Sèvres. His passage was marked by the renewal of the collections and the modernization of the style. His sons Louis Robert and Pierre Carrier-Belleuse also distinguished themselves in the arts.
