Charles-Henri Delanglade (1870-1952) Monk preaching Wooden group Signed and dated on the front: "DELANGLADE" "1898 H : 48 cm, on a red marble base H : 4,8 cm Charles-Henri Delanglade studied sculpture with Emile Aldebert at the École des Beaux-Arts in Marseille and then with Jules Cavalier and Ernest Barrias in Paris. He stayed in Italy to perfect his artistic training. At the 1910 Salon des Artistes Français, Delanglade received an honorable mention for his marble Vers la vie. The sculptor quickly returned to Marseilles and created portraits in busts and medals of local personalities. Delanglade's work is as varied in the choice of materials (bronze, wood, ivory and ceramics) as in the themes chosen (literary, allegorical, genre scenes or religious like this preaching monk).
