List of works by Alexandre Falguière

Portrait of Alexandre Falguière

This is a list of some of the works by the French artist Alexandre Falguière.

Biography

Falguière was born in Toulouse on 7 September 1831 into a modest home, his father working as a mason. His father did, however manage to put him into the Toulouse École des Beaux-Arts where he studied both painting and sculpture and in 1853 was awarded the Toulouse municipal prize for sculpture, which allowed him to study at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, with Toulouse making a contribution towards payment of his fees and expenses. Once he arrived in Paris he worked in the studio of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse so that he could earn some extra cash to supplement the Toulouse funds and then moved to Jean-Louis Chenillon's studio. In 1854 he finally entered the École des Beaux-Arts and there won the Prix de Rome in 1859. He was then 23 years of age, so very near the Prix de Rome age limit. Winning this prestigious prize not only gave him a welcome bursary and access to further funds, but allowed him to travel to and study in Rome and whilst there he executed several pieces. The first piece he sent back to France was a bas-relief entitled "Des Joueurs de cerceau" and then "Thésée enfant", a work in marble and his first work accepted by the Salon. He also completed in Rome the work "Omphale" worked in marble, and "Nuccia la trastecerina". both of which made the Salon, the latter being purchased by the State. It was however his 1864 submission to the Salon called "le Vainqueur au combat de coqs" which was to make his reputation. When he returned to Paris from Rome in 1867, his work was already well known and highly regarded and he sealed this with his Salon submission "Tracisius". Now from his small studio in the rue de l'Ouest, later called the rue d'Assas, he produced work after work. In 1868 he was awarded the Medal of Honour at the Paris Salon and was appointed Officer of the Légion of Honor in 1878, in 1889 becoming a "commandeur" of that order. He had been made a member of the Académie française in 1882 and in the same year was made professor at the École des Beaux-arts. In 1870, with Paris under siege by the Prussian army, Alexandre Falguière enrolled in the National Guard and it was at this time that he made a sculpture from snow called "La Résistance" a work celebrated by the poets Théodore de Banville and Théophile Gautier, both fellow members of the guard. The 1880s saw a huge demand for statues, France being gripped by "statuomanie" and Falguière was swamped by commissions. By the end of his life Falguière was running five studios and had many pupils including Idrac, Injalbert, Marqueste, Théodore-Rivière and Antonin Mercié. His output was prolific, many of his compositions being repeated in various materials and sizes. Many of his original plaster works were cast in bronze or sculpted in marble so that the same work can be seen in various locations, albeit in different materials and of different dimensions and many of his maquettes are preserved in museums.

From 8 February to 8 March 1902, a major exhibition of Falguière's work was held at the École National des Beaux-Arts in Paris and Falguière's widow asked G Larroumet, a long time friend of Falguière and permanent secretary of the École, to write a preface in the exhibition catalogue. We are fortunate that this can be read on-line and some of the information in the catalogue is used in this article.

Le Vainqueur au Combat de Coqs	Toulouse, Musée des Augustins	Alexandre Falguière - Le Vainqueur au combat de coqs - Musée des Augustins - RA 1146	1864	This work was completed in 1864 and was Falguière's first bronze statue of importance. The plaster model was completed in 1863 and the bronze version was exhibited at the Salon des Artistes français in 1864 and received a medal. Victor Thiébaut carried out the casting. From 1883 to 1884, the statue stood in the garden of the Grand-Rond but was then moved into the Musée des Augustins and a copy kept in the museum's garden. "Le Vainqueur au Combat de Coqs" was inspired by Jean de Bologne's "Le Mercure".
Tarcisius, martyr crétian	Paris, Musée d'Orsay		1867	This work was Falguière's submission to the Paris Salon in 1868.

Pasteur is depicted seated and wearing a dressing gown and surrounded by various sculptural groupings which underline his achievements. Falguière includes the figure of Death himself and near to a mother and her child but, thanks to Pasteur, death is no longer so powerful and less likely to harm them. Elsewhere we see a young woman convalescing and cattle and sheep, the latter with a shepherd. Victor Peter helped to finish this monument.

Works outside of Paris

Name	Location	Photograph	Date	Notes
Monument to Admiral Amédée Courbet	Abbeville, Place de l'Amiral Courbet			Falguière worked with Antonin Mercié on this statue. It was damaged in a bombing raid during the 1914–1918 war and was not restored. A medal was struck celebrating the monument.
Statue of David d'Angers	Angers		1878	The Musée des beaux-arts in Angers holds the original model submitted by Falguière for the competition held to select the sculptor of a tribute to David d'Angers.
Monument to Cardinal Lavigerie	Bayonne			This Falguière monument is in Bayonne, Lavigerie's birthplace. Lavigerie was a French cardinal, Archbishop of Carthage and Algiers, Primate of Africa and a significant figure in France's anti-slavery movement.
Statue of Pierre de Fermat	Beaumont-de-Lomagne			It was the mathematician Despeyrous, a citizen of Beaumont, who in 1881 offered a bronze statue of fellow mathematician Pierre de Fermat, by Falguière to the town of his birth. In 1943 the statue was taken and melted down for use in the manufacture of munitions. In 1954 the people of Beaumont and its mayor organized a replacement but in stone rather than bronze.
Monument to Léon Gambetta.	Cahors			The monument to Gambetta in Cahors had originally been an elaborate composition by Falguière but now comprises a statue of Gambetta on a pedestal. Originally there had been bronzes of a crouching marine in attacking mode, a draped flag and a wounded infantryman but these were taken in 1943 and melted down for the manufacture of armaments. The monument is in the centre of Cahors, in the Square François Mitterrand, close to the Allées Fenelon and the pedestal bears the simple inscription "à / [Léon] Gambetta / né à Cahors / le 2 avril 1838" Gambetta had died following an accident in 1882 and the monument was erected soon afterwards, being inaugurated on 14 April 1884 in the presence of Jules Ferry and Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau. In Falguière's composition, Gambetta's right arm rests on a cannon, presumably representing the French Revolutionary tradition of a "nation at arms" and recalling Gambetta's rôle in resisting Prussian military occupation after the Franco-Prussian War. His right arm is raised, as if he was in full, rhetorical flow, exhorting his Republican followers and the French nation more generally to take action. Indeed part of one of his rousing speeches is chiseled onto the plinth of the statue. "Français / Élevez vos âmes et vos résolutions à la / hauteur des effroyables périls qui / fondent sur la patrie / il dépend encore de nous de lasser [sic] la / mauvaise fortune et de montrer à l'univers / ce qu'est un grand peuple qui ne veut / pas périr et dont le courage s'exalte au / sein même des catastrophes" The monument area was designed by architect Paul Pujol and the statue was cast in the foundry of the Thiébaut brothers.
Death mask of Gambetta	Cahors		1882	The Musée de Cahors Henri Martin in Cahors have a death mask of Gambetta by Falguière.
Statue of Armand Barbès	Carcassonne		1886	This statue no longer exists. It was replaced by a statue by Claude Marquié.
La Sasson	Chambéry	La Sasson	1892	The monument in Chambéry in Savoie was erected in 1892 and inaugurated by Sadi Carnot the French president, as part of the celebrations celebrating the centenary of Savoie's absorption into France at the time of the French revolution. A Sasson is a native of Savoie. The Germans removed the statue in 1942 during the occupation but it was fully restored in 1982. The inscription reads " LA SASSON. STATUE DE LA SAVOIE COMMEMORANT LE CENTENAIRE DE L'ANNEXION DE LA SAVOIE A LA FRANCE 1792–1892. DEPOSEE SOUS L'OCCUPATION EN 1942 PUIS RETROUVEE / EN ALLEMAGNE ELLE FUT RESTAUREE ET REINSTALLEE / EN 1982. ŒUVRE D'ALEXANDRE FALGUIERE"

The villa "La Sapinière"	Évian-les-Bains			Jonas Vitta, a wealthy banker, commissioned the architect Jean Camille Formigé in 1892 to design this villa at Lake Léman near Evian-les-Bains. Jonas died in that year but his son, Baron Joseph,continued the villa's decoration, and commissioned work from sculptors Rodin, Georges Guardet, Falguière and Alexandre Charpentier and painters and engravers Paul-Albert Besnard, Félix Bracquemond and Jules Chéret. In the gallery below are photographs of some of Falguière's bas-reliefs which decorate the villa.
La Nymphe	Laon			The work "La Nymphe" was always called "Diane chasseresse" by Falguière and this bronze version is located along the Rampe d'Ardon in Laon in the Aisne. The Rampe d'Ardon is the winding road which takes one to the summit of the hill on which Laon sits. Cast in bronze by Thiébaut frères in 1882, it was given to Laon by the State in exchange for a painting by Vouet in 1885–1886. This is a good example of how a work by Falguière can appear in various locations, as apart from the Laon bronze the work also appears in Nogent- sur-Seine's Musée Paul Dubois-Alfred Boucher and the plaster version is held by the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse.
Monument to Lamartine	Mâcon	Monument to Lamartine in Mâcon		Lamartine, the French poet, full name Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine, was born in Mâcon and Falguière's statue was erected in front of the Mâcon Hôtel de Ville in 1878. Students of the writer, poet and politician believe he was instrumental in the foundation of the Second Republic
Monument to Louis-Toussaint Dassy	Marseille		Y	Louis-Toussaint Dassy was a missionary priest and historian who in his lifetime did much to help blind children. This monument was designed by Pujol and Falguière carried out the sculptural work involved. The monument is situated in the Jardin de la colline Pierre Puget in Marseille and the composition includes a young blind girl.
Bust of Jacques Mathieu Delpech	Montpellier		1860	This bust is located in the University of Montpellier's Medical Faculty. Delpech was a surgeon both in Toulouse and Paris before becoming Professor of Clinical Surgery at Montpellier. He was assassinated by one of his patients.
Sculpture of Augustin Calmet	Munster			Calmet was born and died in Senones but had many associations with Munster and the above work marks his tomb in the Abbaye de Senones. A plaster version can be seen in Munster's town hall.
Monument du Président Sadi Carnot	Nolay		1895	This monument was conceived by the sculptor Jules Roulleau but finished by Falguière. The firm of Gandinot and Verdie of Charleville carried out the casting of the figure of Sadi Carnot and the monument's inauguration took place on 8 September 1895. The statue was destroyed during the Vichy regime and the bronze melted down.
Monument to Emmanuel d'Alzon	Nîmes		1893	Emmanuel d'Alzon (1810–1880) was a leading French cleric in the 19th century and Falguière's 1893 bronze sculpture shows Father d'Alzon on his knees and in prayer. It stands in the Collège d'Assumption in Nîmes. D'Alzon had founded the "Augustins de l'Assomption". The statue was erected on 28 June 1893 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Collège d'Assumption's foundation.
Statue of Alphonse Daudet	Nîmes		1900	This statue is in the Square de la Couronne in Nîmes. Daudet was a French novelist.
Monument to Jean Baptiste de La Salle	Rouen	The Jean Baptiste de La Salle monument in Rouen. Here we see two of the four children spaced about the monument's base.	1875	This monument and fountain in Rouen was built in the 1800s to celebrate Jean Baptiste de La Salle's enormous contributions to education. The statue was first erected in 1875 in the Place Carnot but was transferred to the quieter neighborhood of St. Sever because of the difficulties with traffic circulation in 1885. The bronze shows De La Salle teaching a young child whilst a second pupil is deeply engrossed in reading a book. Further sculptures of children are placed at the four corners of the monument representing the four corners of the earth. Falguière's bas-reliefs recall de La Salle's generosity in giving his possessions to the poor and that he was honored with a visit from James II at his boarding school in Paris.
Fountain	Rouen			In 1874 a retaining wall cum fountain was constructed in Rouen's rue Louis-Ricard / rue Sainte-Marie. Édouard de Perthes was the designing architect and Falguière was commissioned to carry out some sculptural decoration for this fountain. The underground reservoir was an important part of the work carried out between 1870 and 1874 to improve Rouen's water supply and after the construction of the reservoir was completed, a competition was held for the design and installation of a fountain which de Perthes and Falguière completed between 1874 and 1879. The fountain served as a retaining wall holding back the water in the reservoir. Falguière's work on the fountain included three groups of sculpture, with allegories of "L'Élevage", "the City of Rouen" and "Agriculture".
Statue of Henri de La Rochejaquelein	Saint-Aubin-de-Baubigné		1895	This Falguière work is located in Saint-Aubin-de-Baubigné. It was erected in honour of the counter-revolutionary Henri de La Rochejaquelein. He had lost his life at Nuaillé, near Cholet on 28 January 1794 at the age of 22. On the pedestal supporting his statue are engraved his celebrated words spoken at the Château de la Durbelière before 2000 soldiers. " Si j'avance, suivez-moi, si je recule tuez-moi, si je meurs vengez-moi" This translates as "If I advance, follow me, if I retreat kill me, if I die revenge me"
Monument to Pèire Godolin	Toulouse, Place Wilson			In Falguière's composition, Godolin sits on a rock with his left hand resting on a book. His hat lies at his feet as well as a nude woman who holds a jar from which the fountain's water flows. This figure is thought to be an allegory for the river Garonne.
Monument to Charles Lavigerie	Toulouse, Musée des Augustins	Cardinal Lavigerie	1898

Miscellaneous

Name	Location	Photograph	Date	Notes
Monument à la Revolution-Liberte. Égalite. Fraternite	Paris			This was a work that Falguiere was never able to complete owing to his death but there is a model in plaster of the projected sculpture in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay which they acquired in 1950. Three figures are allegories for liberty, equality and fraternity. This would have formed part of a large work dedicated to the revolution which Falguiere was commissioned to complete by the French State.
La résistance	Paris			Mention has already been made of the work "La résistance" which Falguière sculpted in snow whilst serving in the National Guard during the Prussian siege of Paris in 1870. Falguière subsequently made a terracotta model for the Petit Palais in Paris. There is also a copy of the composition in green wax in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris. The terracotta figure is now held by the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse. A bronze casting by Thiebaut Freres is held in the Los Angeles County Museum. Falguière's model was also used to decorate the tomb of Doctor Lucio y Lopez in Buenos Aires' "Cimetiere de la Recoleta".
Médallion celebrating the life of Falguière				A médallion was struck to celebrate Falguière's work. It featured a relief of Falguière which had been created a few years earlier by Victor Peter. Peter had been the sculptor who added the finishing touches to the Louis Pasteur monument. The médallion is held in the collection of Rennes' musée des beaux-arts.
Medallion depicting E. Gebhart				Falguiere completed this médallion celebrating the life of E. Gebhart. It can be seen in the museum of Nemours castle.
