(Aim?-)Jules Dalou

 
Art Encyclopedia: (Aim?-)Jules Dalou

(b Paris, 31 Dec 1838; d Paris, 15 April 1902). French sculptor. Dalou ranks among the greatest sculptors of the 19th century, alongside Antonio Canova, Fran?ois Rude, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Auguste Rodin. The son of a glovemaker, he was a modern urbanite who believed in the moral efficacy of craftsmanship and manual labour as well as the primacy of democracy and a secular social order. The imagery of his finest works bears witness to these beliefs.
