Frémiet was one of the greatest French animal sculptors of the 19th century, a pupil of Rude, Rude’s nephew by marriage, and Barye’s successor as professor of animal drawing at the Natural History Museum. He is notably the creator of the famous statue of Joan of Arc on the Place des Pyramides in Paris.
