Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux sculpted figures bursting with raw energy and emotion. Forget cool Neoclassical composure - his style was all about capturing the heat of the moment. Think dynamic poses, dramatic facial expressions, and a palpable sense of movement. Key themes included passionate love, ecstatic joy, and even unbridled frenzy.

Carpeaux = Capture the pulse! He aimed to capture the pulse of life in his art.
