Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was born in Anisy le Château in 1824. After arriving in Paris at the age of 13, he learned chasing and then goldsmithing. He entered the École des Beaux-Arts around 1840, and in 1851 was hired as a designer and drawing teacher at an English porcelain factory. Exhibiting in France at the Salon of 1857, his growing reputation earned him a reputation as one of the most brilliant sculptors of his time, and his works can be seen today on many national buildings.
