French sculptor. Born in Valenciennes. He went to Paris and studied first under F. Ludes and then F. J. Duret, where he acquired excellent technique. In 1854, he won the Prix de Rome for his work Hector Praying for the Protection of His Son, and went to Italy. It is said that he was deeply impressed by Michelangelo's masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Among the works that Carpeaux submitted to the Academy in Rome, Ugolino and His Sons (1860, Louvre Museum) was inspired by Dante's Inferno, and gained great fame in Rome but was unpopular in Paris. However, after returning to France, he was fortunate to be under the patronage of Princess Mathilde, cousin of Emperor Napoleon III, and in this favorable environment he produced Flora (1863-66), a relief for the pavilion at the Tuileries, and The Dance (1869), in front of the Opera House. In 1872, he exhibited Four Parts of the World, which later became a fountain at the Luxembourg Museum, at the Salon, but he fell ill that same year and died three years later.

フランスの彫刻家。バランシェンヌに生まれる。パリに出て初めF・リュード、ついでF・J・デュレに学び、優れた技巧を習得した。1854年に『わが子の守護を祈るヘクトル』によってローマ賞を獲得し、イタリアに赴いた。ローマのバチカン宮システィナ礼拝堂でミケランジェロの大作から受けた感銘はきわめて深刻であったという。カルポーがローマのアカデミアに提出した作品のうち『ウゴリーノとその子たち』(1860・ルーブル美術館)はダンテの『神曲・地獄編』から着想されたもので、ローマでは非常な名声を博したが、パリでは不評であった。しかし帰国後は幸運にもナポレオン3世の従姉妹(いとこ)にあたる王女マチルドの庇護(ひご)を受けるようになり、チュイルリー宮のパビヨンの浮彫り『フローラ』(1863~66)やオペラ座正面の『ダンス』(1869)を恵まれた環境のなかで制作した。72年、のちにリュクサンブールの噴水盤になった『世界の四部分』をサロンに出品したが、この年に発病し、3年後に世を去った。 [濱谷勝也] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
