Henri Peinte (1845-1912)

Sculptor of mythological subjects in the 19th century , he was a pupil of Duret and Cavelier .

He exhibited at the Salon of 1877 and won a third class medal and the Salon prize , with a statue of "Sarpedon" .
It is Henri Peinte's best-known work , noticed in the same year by art critics Charles Tardieu , Henri Houssaye and Paul Mantz.
It was made for a Public Garden in Cambrai where it will be installed in 1878 .

A bronze reduction of "Sarpedon" earned him a Grand Prix at the Universal Exhibition of 1889 , the year in which he was decorated with the Legion of Honor .
The original plaster model is currently kept at the Museum of Fine Arts in Coulommiers .
