*Aimé-Jules Dalou, known as Jules Dalou, French sculptor, born in Paris on December 31, 1838 and died in the same city on April 15, 1902.
"The Sculptor of the Republic
After a modest Parisian childhood, Dalou began his career under the Second Empire. But it was soon interrupted by the 1870 war and the Paris Commune, in which Dalou took part. Forced into exile, the sculptor settled in London, where his work proved highly popular with English art lovers. He returned to France in 1879, when the Communards were granted amnesty.
The City of Paris commissioned his most famous work, the revolutionary Triumph of the Republic. Now enthroned at the center of the Place de la Nation, the Triomphe de la République is the first in a long series of public monuments designed by Dalou for the capital. Like all sculptors of his time, he also produced busts and much-appreciated decorative works for private clients.
