Carpeaux

Carpeaux perhaps never did anything that quite equals the masterpiece of his master Rude.

Carpeaux used to say that he never passed the "Chant du Départ" without taking off his hat.

Then, too, M. Dalou has a certain nobility which Carpeaux's vivacity is a shade too animated to reach.

Traces of Carpeaux's influence are plain in his way of conceiving such subjects as Carpeaux would have handled.

After producing a statue of the prince imperial, Carpeaux was made chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1866.
