Summary

Description
English: A study of the monument aux morts (war memorial) at Crépy-en-Valois .This features a work by Albert Bartholomé(1848–1928) who was the sculptor of the monument aux morts which stands in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris - probably the definitive monument aux morts. It was Albert Bartholomé who designed the croix de guerre. The Crépy-en-Valois monument features a woman weeping over the corpse of a dead soldier and was inaugurated on 11 November 1925. It was a replica of the statue commissioned in 1918 by Marie Henriette Bernard de Sassenay,the Baroness of Laumont, for the tomb of her son, Jacques Benoist de Laumont who had been killed in the Great War and was called "le soldat gisant" In June 1918 this composition featured in an exhibition held at the Petit-Palais in Paris by "la Sociètè des Artistes Française et de la Sociètè Nationale des Beaux-Arts" and was number 637 in the exhibition catalogue. Albert Bartholomé completed the Crépy-en-Valois sculpture for free in memory of his deceased wife who had been born in the nearby village of Bouillant.
