Arthur - Marie - Gabriel Comte du Passage (1838-1909)

Arthur Du Passage is a famous French animal sculptor .
A former student of Saint-Cyr , a career officer in the cavalry , he took sculpture lessons in the workshops of the sculptors Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875) and Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) .
While he was a second lieutenant in Maubeuge , he exhibited at the Salon in 1865 .
He also produced sports drawings published in newspapers of the time .

A fall from a horse ends his military career.
He then devoted himself entirely to sculpture , and created animal models , sometimes hunting .
Furthermore , he became friends with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec .
The sculptor worked in his workshop at the Castel of Bernaville in Frohen , and regularly sent his works to the Salon des Artistes Français from 1865 to 1893 .
One of the sculptor's most famous works is his "Horse in training with his lad".

In the years 1890-1910 , he also exhibited, with his brother and his son , regularly , at the former Orangerie of the Palais of Tuileries , today the Orangerie Museum in Paris , at the annual Exhibition of Painters and Sculptors of Hunting and Vénerie .
It presents sculptures , but also drawings and paintings .
