Paul Dubois (1829-1905) entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1858, before leaving for Italy. Florentine sculpture of the Renaissance had a definitive impact on his art. His "Saint Jean-Baptiste", exhibited at the Salon in 1864, and his "Florentine Singer" the following year, were two of his most famous works. From 1880 onwards, he also worked as a painter, exhibiting sculptures and paintings simultaneously. This work was inspired by a funerary model by Michelangelo: the statue of Giuliano de' Medici in the Medici Chapel in Florence. "Military Courage" is one of four bronze figures adorning the corners of General de la Moricière's cenotaph. This monument, built by architect Louis Boitte for Nantes Cathedral, was inaugurated in 1879. Numerous prints were made in five sizes by Barbedienne. Dubois' plaster model is in the collections of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Troyes. The bronze original is in Nantes Cathedral.
