Louis-Philippe Hébert1887/1887
McCord Stewart Museum
Montreal, Canada
Louis-Philippe Hébert was the foremost Quebec sculptor of the late 19th century. The commissioner of this bronze was probably the son of Louis-Joseph Papineau (1786-1871), one of the leading figures in the history of French-Canadian nationalism. The Museum has eight sculptures by this artist, all in plaster, except this one, which is cast in bronze by M. Hohwiller. Hébert produced a number of monumental sculptures for public and religious sites.
