He was the son and pupil of a monumental sculptor and stone mason Georges Philippe Clésinger. His father took him to Rome in 1832 where he worked for a time in Bertel Thorvaldsen's studio. He also established his own studio in Rome and sent work from there to be exhibited at the Salon. Returning to Paris he worked with David d'Angers. In 1847 Clésinger married Georges Sand's daughter which put him into contact with the fashionable elite in Paris and led to commissions for many portrait busts. He is best known for the colossal bust of Liberty on the Champs de Mars in Paris. He won numerous medals and was created Officier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1864. Clésinger favoured the heroines of the ancient civilisations of Greece, Egypt and Rome as subjects for many of his works.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: WW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
