Marble sculptures from the Louis XV period
The Louis XV period is distinguished by its rococo style, characterized by elegance and fluidity of form. Marble sculptures from this period are often adorned with floral motifs and scrolls, capturing delicacy and lightness. Artists of this period, such as Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne and Edmé Bouchardon, exploited the finesse of marble to create works of great expressiveness and incomparable refinement.
Marble sculptures from the Louis XVI period
The reign of Louis XVI saw the emergence of neoclassical art, inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity. Marble sculptures from this period favored straight lines and geometric forms, with a preference for mythological and historical themes. Works by sculptors such as Jean-Antoine Houdon and Augustin Pajou perfectly illustrate this quest for purity and antique grandeur, with pieces in which marble is worked with remarkable precision and detail.
Sculptures from the Empire period
The Empire period, marked by the domination of Napoleon Bonaparte, saw the emergence of imposing, heroic marble sculptures. Artists of this period, such as Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen, drew inspiration from military victories and imperial figures to create monumental, majestic works. Marble, a noble and durable material, was used to depict mythological figures, busts of Napoleon and historical scenes, reflecting the power and glory of the Empire.
Sculptures from the Napoleon III period
The Napoleon III period is characterized by stylistic eclecticism, combining neoclassical, baroque and rococo elements with contemporary influences. Marble sculptures from this period are often rich in detail and ornament, testifying to the opulence and taste for luxury of the imperial court. Sculptors such as Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse created works of captivating complexity and beauty, using marble for its aesthetic qualities and durability.
Art Nouveau sculptures
The Art Nouveau movement, which emerged at the end of the 19th century, is characterized by organic, flowing forms inspired by nature. Marble sculptures from this period reflect this aesthetic with motifs of plants, flowers and animals, creating works of great delicacy and natural elegance. Artists such as Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel exploited the qualities of marble to create pieces in which the fluidity of forms and sensuality of lines are magnificently rendered.
Art Deco sculptures
Art Deco, which flourished in the 1920s, introduced a more geometric, stylized style. Marble sculptures from this period are characterized by clean lines, symmetrical shapes and decorative motifs. Marble, often combined with other materials such as bronze and glass, is used to create modern, elegant works. Sculptors such as Demetre Chiparus and Paul Manship marked this period with pieces that embodied the spirit of the age, combining sophistication and modernity.

Manufacturing techniques
Marble carving techniques have evolved over the centuries, while retaining traditional know-how. Direct carving, hand polishing and modelling are the preferred methods for creating pieces of great finesse. Contemporary artists combine these age-old techniques with modern technologies, such as CNC machining and waterjet cutting, to produce unique and innovative sculptures.
