Charles Clement Perron was a French sculptor born in 1862 in Poitiers, France. He was known for his classical style of sculpture and his works often reflected the influence of the Renaissance and Ancient Greek art. Perron was a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was trained under renowned sculptors such as Alexandre Falguière and Jules Cavelier.
During his career, Perron received several awards and honors for his work, including a medal at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he frequently exhibited his sculptures. His works were primarily in marble and bronze, and he was proficient in creating both large-scale public monuments and smaller, more intimate pieces.
Perron was also a respected teacher, imparting his knowledge and skills to the next generation of artists. Among his notable works are statues and reliefs that can be found in various public spaces in France, including the 'Monument to the Dead' in Poitiers, which is a testament to his ability to capture emotion and movement in static forms.
He continued to work and contribute to the French art scene until his death in 1934. Charles Clement Perron's legacy lives on through his sculptures, which continue to be admired for their craftsmanship and classical beauty.
