life and work

Carrier-Belleuse studied from 1840 with Pierre Jean David d'Angers at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which he only attended for a short time, as he initially wanted to be a chaser. Since the 1850s he made marble work , bronze sculptures and terracotta busts , which combined flirty elegance with a completely naturalistic and painterly conception. Through the painterly and naturalistic treatment they took on a most lively expression. In 1864 he became friends with the young sculptor Auguste Rodin . The sculpture "Madonna lifting the little Savior" from 1867 earned him the Medal of Honor of the Salon de Paris . He was considered one of the most successful decorative sculptors of his time and was called the "Clodion of the Second Empire" ( Claude Michel Clodion , 1738–1814).

After the armistice in 1871, Carrier-Belleuse went to Brussels with Rodin to accept public contracts with his assistance and assistance. Among other things, they made a frieze between the attic and the column wall on the south facade of the stock exchange . For the Belgian painter and photographer Louis Ghémar , who died in 1873 , he designed the sculptural work of the tomb. After an argument with Rodin, who wanted greater independence, he went back to Paris.

From 1875 to 1887 he was artistic director and head of the studio of the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres in Sèvres , which he reorganized and he a large number of porcelain - forms created. Auguste Rodin, who returned from Brussels in 1877, worked for Carrier-Belleuse until 1882 and also created works that were signed by Carrier-Belleuse (“Vase of the Titans”). Rodin depicted him in 1882 in the terra cotta work Buste d'Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse , 47 × 41 cm.

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse died at the age of 63.

children

His son Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse (1848–1913) also took up the profession of sculptor and was also active as a painter. His daughter Henriette became his student and flower painter. She exhibited in the salon in 1874 and 1879 and later married the sculptor Joseph Chéret , who succeeded him as artistic director of the porcelain factory in Sévres. Pierre Carrier-Belleuse (1851–1933), Knight of the Legion of Honor, was a well-known painter of genre paintings , pastels and illustrations. The artist's works can be found in the museums of La Rochelle, du Puy, Reims, Versailles and Paris. He was one of the painters of the picture Panthéon de la Guerre 1914-1918 , which in its time was the largest painting in the world and depicted the prominent figures of the First World War in a panorama .
