Clodion for the faun or the satyr
Claude Michel, known as Clodion
Sculptor (1738 - 1814)
Claude Michel, known as Clodion, is one of the most important European sculptors of the second half of the 18th century and the first years of the following century. Originally from Nancy, he came to settle in Paris relatively young and entered the workshop of his uncle, the sculptor Lambert-Sigismond Adam. Then after the latter's death, he completed his training for a while with Jean-Baptiste Pigalle. Quickly, the young Clodion demonstrated an extraordinary talent. In 1759, he won the first prize for sculpture, then left for Rome three years later with the student certificate of the Académie de France. His stay in Rome would be essential for the formation of his style, which would assert itself and attract some valuable support, notably the painter Natoire, and powerful patrons, particularly Empress Catherine II, who would try in vain to bring him to Russia. In 1771, back in France, he acquired a very great reputation for his groups of nymphs, bacchantes and satyrs, particularly sought after by collectors. At the end of 1773, he returned to Italy, commissioned by the Direction des Bâtiments du Roi to buy marble in Carrara. Subsequently, until the Revolution, he would receive numerous and important commissions for the royal family and the great connoisseurs of the time. After the fall of the monarchy, he continued his work much more timidly, then died in Paris, rue de la Sorbonne, in March 1814.

La Rue or Delarue Louis-Félix de ( Paris 1730 - Paris 1777 
Louis-Félix Delarue was born on October 19, 1730 in Paris and died on June 24, 1777. He was a French designer and sculptor. Younger brother of Philibert-Benoît de La Rue, he was a student of Lambert Sigisbert Adam. Winner of the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1750, he obtained in 1754 the diploma necessary to become a student in sculpture at the Academy of Rome. He was admitted to the Academy of Saint-Luc in 1760. He worked for the Sèvres porcelain factory. Two porcelain figurines made from Delarue's model are kept at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
