Francois Rude Biography

(b dijon, 4 jan 1784; d paris, 3 nov 1855). french sculptor. he was of working-class origins and neo-classical training. after 1830 he identified with the emergent group of romantic sculptors in france, at the same time retaining his own strong sense of monumentalism. his massive stone relief on the arc de triomphe, paris, popularly known as ‘la marseillaise’ (1833–6; see fig. 1), and his bronze allegory napoleon awakening to immortality (1845–7; fixin, parc noisot; see fig. 2) are memorable nostalgic celebrations of the military heroism of the revolutionary period.
