Paul Dubois, born in 1869, is a French sculptor studying at the Beaux Arts in Paris and then in Rome.
Impressed by Italian Renaissance sculpture, he was the leader of the so-called “Florentine” sculptors. The Florentine Singer from the 15th century will be presented at the Salon of 1865, will obtain the medal of honor and will become one of the most popular sculptures of the time.
The Florentin singer will be published in several dimensions and patinas: one of them is exhibited at the Louvre Museum, in silvered bronze.
