Who is Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux?

Born in 1827 in Valenciennes, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux is primarily known as one of the greatest French sculptors of the 19th century. A student of François Rude and a winner of the Prix de Rome, he developed a personal style early on, marked by movement, expressiveness, and raw emotion.

Painter, draftsman, and sculptor, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux rejects academic coldness. He observes the human body in its truth, its tensions, its impulses. His emblematic work, La Danse for the Paris Opera, provokes as much admiration as scandal, as it breaks with conventions.

His art embodies a decisive transition between classicism and expressive modernity.
