MediumBronze

Jules Dalou is an 1883 bronze bust with green and brown patina. It shows Jules Dalou and was produced by his fellow-sculptor Auguste Rodin to mark Dalou's winning the medal of honour in 1882 when he first exhibited at the Paris Salon.

Friendship

[edit]

Dalou and Rodin had met as students at the Petite Ècole and had become friends.[1] Rodin sent the work to Dalou in 1897 when the latter returned to France from London, but disagreements over it and Rodin's monument to Victor Hugo later ended the friendship.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
