Edouard Dantan, portrait of the sculptor Paul Aubé
Edouard Dantan, Portrait of the sculptor Paul Aubé in his studio.
Acquisition of the Petit Palais Museum, Paris.
“15/1/25 - Acquisition - Paris, Petit Palais, Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris - Always as (well) inspired in its purchases, the Petit Palais ended the year on a very good note, setting its sights on a very interesting painting that seemed destined to join its collections. Work
Unpublished by Édouard Dantan, the Portrait of the sculptor Paul Aubé working in his studio (ill. 1) is also an artistic testament since it is the last work of the artist, painted a few months before his accidental death in a horse-drawn car accident [1] in July 1897.
Portrait of friendship, this one is both signed, dated and dedicated at the bottom right: “To my friend/PAULAUBÉ/E. DANTAN/1897".
Remained in the descendants of the model, it was acquired from Geoffroy Dassé Antiquaire in Mers-les-Bains and will be presented at the museum in a promising exhibition exploring artist portraits, scheduled for spring 2026 from the collections of the Petit Palais, which also preserves a beautiful set of emblematic works by this sculptor.”
