Louis-Théophile Hingre (1832-1911)
Born and died in Écouen between 1832 and 1911, he was a French sculptor, model maker, and engraver. He is best known for his animal works as well as for his decorative art creations. From a young age, he trained in Paris and worked in workshops specializing in the production of bronzes, before emigrating to England in 1858. There, he joined the Elkington silversmiths' house in Birmingham, where he deepened his interest in animal sculpture.
Upon his return to France in 1869, Hingre regularly performed at the Salon des Artistes Français. His sculptures include depictions of horses, sheep, birds, and other farm animals. His work is distinguished by meticulous observation of the postures and movements of animals, combined with great skill in modeling.
At the same time, Hingre also explores the field of decorative arts, producing bas-reliefs, medallions, bronze objects, as well as models for goldsmithing. He was honored with several official distinctions, including the title of Officer of the Academy in 1899 and that of Officer of Public Instruction in 1908.
