Eugène Delaplanche
Eugène Delaplanche was a French sculptor born in Belleville (Seine). He was a pupil of Francisque Joseph Duret. Delaplanche gained the Prix de Rome in 1864 (spending 1864-67 at the Villa Medici in Rome) and the medal of honor in 1878. His Messenger of Love (1874), Aurora (1878) and the Virgin of the Lillies (1884) are in Luxembourg. Other works by him are Music (1878, Paris Opera House), called his masterpiece; Eve After the Fall (1869); Maternal Instruction (1875, Square of Sainte-Clothilde, Paris). He is also noted for his decorations in relief on vases of Haviland Faience. His best work is naturalistic but at the same time dignified and simple inline, and shows sound mastery of technique. He is represented by 15 works in the Glyptothek, Copenhagen and many other French museums and churches.
