EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jean-Baptiste Pigalle: The Elegant Sculptor of 18th-Century France" Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714-1785), a renowned French sculptor, is captured in this portrait, showcasing his artistic brilliance and the sophistication of the 18th century. Born in Troyes, France, Pigalle's talent was recognized at a young age, and he was apprenticed to a local sculptor. He later moved to Paris to study under the renowned sculptor Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne. Pigalle's career flourished during the reign of King Louis XV, a period marked by opulence and artistic innovation. He quickly gained a reputation for his elegant and sensuous sculptures, which often featured voluptuous female figures. His most famous work, "The Mermaid," is a testament to his mastery of the human form and his ability to capture the essence of beauty. Pigalle's works were highly sought after by the French aristocracy, and he was commissioned to create numerous statues and busts for their chateaux and gardens. His most notable patrons included the Duke of Richelieu and the Comte de Vergennes. Despite his success, Pigalle faced challenges during his career. He was involved in a bitter rivalry with the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Greuze, and his works were criticized by some for being too sensual. However, his talent and dedication to his craft endured, and he continued to produce masterpieces until his death in 1785. This photographic print captures the essence of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, the brilliant and innovative sculptor who left an indelible mark on the art world of 18th-century France. His works continue to inspire and captivate audiences today, a testament to his enduring legacy.
