bust of Carrier-Belleuse by Auguste Rodin

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (June 12, 1824, Anizy-le-Château - June 4, 1887, Sèvres) was a French sculptor and painter. He was the father of Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse.¹

Carrier-Belleuse made many terra cotta pieces, but possibly the most famous is The Abduction of Hippodameia depicting the Greek mythological scene of a centaur kidnapping Hippodameia on her wedding day.

He painted many portraits and landscapes on the Côte d'Opale, northern sea-borders facing England, chiefly in the village of Audresselles.

Auguste Rodin worked as an assistant in the studio of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse in between 1864 and 1870. The two travelled to Brussels in 1871.²
