Antonin Mercié (1845-1916)
A renowned French sculptor and painter, born in Toulouse, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Alexandre Falguière and François Jouffroy. In 1868, he won the prestigious Prix de Rome with his sculpted work "Theseus Vanquishing the Minotaur." Many of his sculpted works can be seen in museums and outdoors, alongside several iconic monuments, including the pediment of the Sorbonne in Paris. His works, often made of bronze or marble, are distinguished by their expressiveness and historical symbolism.
Mercié also taught at the École des Beaux-Arts, influencing artists such as Constantin Brancusi. He was elected to the Institut in 1891 and presided over the Société des Artistes Français in 1913.

Among the artist's exhibited paintings are: a Venus, for which Antonin Mercié won a medal at the 1883 Salon, "Leda" (1884), and "Michelangelo Studying Anatomy" (1885), between 1902 and 1925, "Anger of Love" at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse, and a large-scale unfinished work in the Salle des Illustres at the Capitole in Toulouse.
