Aimé-Jules Dalou was a 19th century French sculptor. He went down in history as a supporter of realism in world art. Dalou was famous for creating monumental bronze monuments, most of which are located in Paris.
Aimé-Jules Dalou, brought up by his parents in the spirit of rejection of social injustice, throughout his career expressed in his work sympathy for the working class. The heroes of his works were often ordinary French toilers, and the master himself was a lifelong supporter of the ideas of republican socialism, because of which he was persecuted.

The sculptor was awarded the French Order of the Legion of Honor in three degrees and at the World Exhibition of 1899 he received the main prize for the monument "Triumph of the Republic. In addition, the artist was one of the founders of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and the first head of the sculpture department in this creative association.
