Even during his lifetime, Antoine-Louis Barye (1795 - 1875) achieved fame as a sculptor in Paris. He was instrumental in animal sculpture's emergence as a modern means of expression.

Along with most French sculptors of his time, Barye worked in Paris under the tutelage of the famous gallery owner and bronze caster Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810 - 1892).
