JEAN-BAPTISTE CARPEAUX. Napoléon III (1808-1873), Emperor of the French

Napoléon III (1808-1873), Emperor of the French. Artist: Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (French, Valenciennes 1827-1875 Courbevoie). Culture: French, Paris. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 20 1/2 x 14 1/2 x 11 3/8 in. (52.1 x 36.8 x 28.9 cm). Date: 1873.
In 1871, Carpeaux was invited to sculpt the emperor while they were both in exile in England. Sittings in 1872 were interrupted by the emperor's illness, and Carpeaux arrived at Chislehurst too late by one day: Napoleon III died January 9, 1873, and the marble is dated January 13, implying that Carpeaux touched up his model after viewing the corpse.
