James Pradier, Marble sculpture in Luxembourg Gardens, France
The marble statue of James Pradier stands in the Luxembourg Gardens, displaying refined neoclassical techniques through its balanced proportions and smooth surface treatment.
Created in 1888 by sculptor Louis Desprez, this monument pays tribute to James Pradier, who served as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts from 1827 to 1852.
The sculpture represents the academic artistic traditions of 19th-century France, when neoclassicism influenced the education of sculptors at the École des Beaux-Arts.
Located near the Luxembourg Museum in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, visitors can observe the statue while exploring the northern section of the gardens.
The monument combines classical aesthetics with realistic details, reflecting Pradier's own artistic philosophy of merging traditional and contemporary elements in sculpture.
