EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a statue of Girardon, the renowned French sculptor of the Baroque era. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this image showcases Girardon's exceptional talent and his significant contributions to art history. Girardon is best known for his statues and busts of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, as well as his magnificent statuary in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. His work was highly sought after during his time, and he was commissioned to create a tomb for Cardinal Richelieu. The direct gaze of Girardon in this photograph reflects both confidence and determination. It offers us a glimpse into the world of this influential artist who left an indelible mark on French sculpture. This image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. The engraving beautifully captures not only Girardon himself but also provides insight into the historical context surrounding him. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of Girardon's artistic genius that continues to inspire generations even centuries later.
