DALOU, JULES 2 ), French sculptor, was born in Paris, and died there on April 15, 1902. He was a pupil of Car peaux and Duret and combined the vivacity and richness of the one with the academic purity and scholarship of the other. He was one of the most brilliant virtuosi of the French school. He first exhibited at the Salon in 1867, but took refuge in England in 1871 and began to teach at South Kensington. A bronze version of his "French Peasant Woman," under the title of "Maternity," was erected outside the Royal Exchange, London. He returned to France in 1879. For the city of Paris he executed his most elab orate and splendid achievement, the vast monument, "The Triumph of the Republic," erected, after twenty years' work, in the Place de la Nation, showing a symbolical figure of the Re public, aloft on her car, drawn by lions led by Liberty, attended by Labour and Justice, and followed by Peace. It is somewhat in the taste of the Louis XIV. period, ornate, but exquisite in every detail. Dalou, who gained the Grand Prix of the International exhibition of 1889 and was an officer of the Legion of Honour, was one of the founders of the New Salon (Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts) and the first president of the sculpture section.
