Ferdinand Philippe, Duke of Orleans at The Louvre, Paris

myminifactory

A replica of a segment of a gisant tomb effigy honoring the son of Louis-Philippe who tragically lost his life in a horse-drawn carriage accident. The original monument is situated within the chapel of Saint-Ferdinand in Neuilly. Triqueti, born into an elite family and signing his name "Henry" after 1850, didn't really need to earn money from his artistic endeavors. The scarcity of casts and reproductions of his works has likely contributed to his relatively unknown status as a sculptor of the nineteenth century, despite completing several significant projects in France and England. Triqueti consistently exhibited at Paris Salon exhibitions starting in 1831, but more notably, he gained the favor of King Louis-Philippe of France. This led to lucrative commissions for the Chamber of Deputies and the Church of the Madeleine in Paris, keeping Triqueti busy throughout the 1830s and 1840s. Triqueti's notable works from the 1860s were completed in England, including his Memorial Chapel to Prince Albert and Shakespearean scenes for University College in London.
