Albert-Ernest Carrier Belleuse

Albert-Ernest Carrier Belleuse began his training as a goldsmith's apprentice. In 1840 Pierre-Jean David d'Angers sponsored him for the École des Beaux-Arts. He stayed only briefly, moving to the Petite École to study decorative arts instead.

Between 1850 and 1855, Carrier-Belleuse worked in England, designing ceramics and metalwork models for companies like Wedgwood. He made his debut in The Salon in 1851. From 1857 he exhibited large-scale sculptures at the Salon, where he garnered medals and commissions from important patrons. Emperor Napoléon III employed him in public projects during the massive rebuilding of Paris from 1851 to 1870.

His reputation was secured in 1861 with his Salve Regina, for which he received the third prize. In 1867 he received the Metal of Honor for the first time. In the same year he was decorated with the Legion d’Honneur. He won the Grand Prix du Salon with his bronze sculpture of Melodie.
