Robert Louis Stevenson 1887-88, cast 1898 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens met noted author Robert Louis Stevenson after reading his "New Arabian Nights," published in 1882. The sculptor recalled in his "Reminiscences": "My introduction to these stories set me aflame as few things in literature. So when I subsequently found that my friend, Mr. Will Hicok Low knew Stevenson quite well, I told him that, if Stevenson ever crossed to this side of the water, I should consider it an honor if he would allow me to make his portrait." After arriving in America, Stevenson agreed to sit for Saint-Gaudens, without hesitation. The author deemed the finished relief a "speaking likeness." He also thought the inscribed verses (a poem by Stevenson dedicated to Low, their mutual friend) "looked remarkably well." Saint-Gaudens depicted Stevenson reclining in bed, cigarette poised in hand, with pieces of paper balanced on his knees. The first version of “Robert Louis Stevenson," cast in 1

Antoine Louis Claude Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836), French philosopher, Member of the Institute 1830 Pierre Jean David d'Angers French Pierre-Jean David dAngers was the most prolific and one of the most important French sculptors of the first half of the nineteenth century. Throughout his almost fifty-year career (1819-1856) David remained true to his conviction that sculptural monuments dedicated to the achievements of great men and women most permanently and vividly express the greatness of a people. He continuously sought commissions for monuments portraying historical and contemporary figures whom he admired in order to commit their contributions to posterity. His most famous public commission, the figurative pediment of the Pantheon in Paris (1830-1837), which commemorates great men and was dedicated by a grateful nation, exemplifies these life-long principles. David dAngers extended his definition of public monuments to include portrait medallions. In the 1820s he dedicated hims
