List of works by Jean Antoine Injalbert

Jean Antoine Injalbert

Jean Antoine Injalbert was born in Béziers in 1845 and died in 1933. He was one of France's greatest sculptors. He worked in many of the great towns and cities of France and examples of his work can be seen in Paris, Pézenas, Reims, Montpellier, Sète etc. The son of a stonemason, Injalbert first served an apprenticeship with an ornamental sculptor, then entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1866 with a municipal scholarship. His teacher was Augustin-Alexandre Dumont. In 1874 he won the Prix de Rome with a figure of Orpheus, and at the Éxposition of 1889 he won the Grand Prix. His first commission was to create the tympanum for La Chapelle du Bon Pasteur in Béziers.

List of works. "Marianne" and some Injalbert public works in Paris

Name	Location	Notes
Busts of "Marianne"	Various-see notes	There must be dozens of Injalbert's busts of "Marianne", whether in plaster, marble or bronze, scattered throughout France. A "Marianne" bust is almost obligatory for French hôtel de villes/mairies and many of these would be by Injalbert, particularly based on his 1889 model which he had executed to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution and this has been replicated many times and cast in bronze by many foundries including Soit-Decauville. They are always given pride of place and are often decked with the tricolour. Whilst in most instances the work is called "Marianne", it can also be known as "La République". A bust of "Marianne" was also favoured as a centre-piece for public fountains and Injalbert's model is often used, mostly in bronze, which is more suitable in a water environment. However many of the public fountain busts were requisitioned by the Germans during their occupation, or by the Vichy regime The busts were melted down so that the metal could be reused in the manufacture of armaments. Given the volume involved it would not therefore seem appropriate to itemize all the locations of Injalbert's "Marianne", whether in town halls and mairies or used on public fountains. As stated many public water fountains had Injalbert "Marianne" busts incorporated into their design. For example, in Villemagne in the Aude there is an Injalbert bronze bust of "Marianne" decorating the fountain which was a gift from Monsieur Dujardin Beaumetz. "Marianne" wears a Phrygian bonnet and a stole with a brooch depicting a lion's head. This is a version of the 1889 "Marianne" this time cast in bronze by J.Malesset in 1908. Then in Trassanel in the Aude, there is another fountain which featured Injalbert's "Marianne". It was erected in 1927 but the bronze content was requisitioned during the occupation and melted down. The same applies to the public fountain in Paulhan in Hérault. Jean Antoine Injalbert's 1889 bust of "Marianne" often called "La République"
The Pont de Bir-Hakeim	Paris	The Pont de Bir-Hakeim is a bridge that crosses the Seine River in Paris. It connects the city's 15th and 16th arrondissements, Originally named the Viaduc de Passy, Passy being the suburb to which the bridge runs. The bridge was renamed in 1948 to commemorate the Battle of Bir Hakeim, fought by Free French forces against the German Afrika Korps in 1942. This Paris bridge has two sculptures by Injalbert one representing "Commerce" and the other "Electricity".
Pont Mirabeau	Paris	Injalbert was responsible for the four allegorical statues which decorate the Pont Mirabeau bridge in Paris. These are entitled "The City of Paris", "Navigation", "Abundance" and "Commerce". The statues "The City of Paris" and "Abundance" face the Seine, while the two allegories "Navigation" and "Commerce" face the bridge. The four statues are surmounted, at the level of the parapet, by the coat of arms of the City of Paris. The work dates to 1896. The sculpture "Abundance" by Injalbert on the Pont Mirabeau in Paris
Statue of Mirabeau in the Panthéon	Paris	The Panthéon had started out as a church. King Louis XV had vowed in 1744 that if he recovered from his illness he would replace the ruined church of the Abbey of St Genevieve with an edifice worthy of the patron saint of Paris. He did recover, and instructed Abel-François Poisson, marquis de Marigny to see that his promise was fulfilled. In 1755, Marigny commissioned Jacques-Germain Soufflot to design the church, and construction started two years later. The remodelled Abbey of St. Genevieve was finally completed in 1790, coinciding with the early stages of the French Revolution. Upon the death of the popular French orator and statesman Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau on 2 April 1791, the National Constituent Assembly, whose president had been Mirabeau, ordered that the building be changed from a church to a mausoleum for the interment of great Frenchmen, retaining Quatremère de Quincy to oversee the project. Mirabeau was the first person interred there on 4 April 1791. However, in 1792 his secret dealings with the king were uncovered, and in 1794 his remains were removed from the Panthéon and were replaced with those of Marat. Mirabeau's remains were then buried anonymously. Injalbert was commissioned to create a statue in honour of Mirabeau and this is still in the Panthéon. Mirabeau is shown making a speech. Mirabeau's statue in the Panthéon
Hippomane/ Hippomène	Paris	Injalbert created this composition in 1886 and it is a work that is much reproduced and in various materials. A copy of the work can be found in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. Hippomène was the husband of Atalanta in Greek mythology. He is usually depicted running, reminding one of Hippomane's running race to secure Atalanta's hand in marriage, which he won, albeit by cheating.
The Louis Gabriel Charles Vicaire monument	Paris	Louis Gabriel Charles Vicaire (January 25, 1848 – September 23, 1900) was a French poet. He was born at Belfort and served in the campaign of 1870. He then settled in Paris to practice at the bar, which, however, he soon abandoned for literature. This work by Injalbert is in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. Gabriel Vicaire by Injalbert
The tympanum of the Petit Palais	Paris	The Petit Palais in Paris was built for the Éxposition Universelle in 1900 and now houses the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts (musée des beaux-arts de la ville de Paris).

Monument to Auguste Comte	Paris	This statue, honouring the French philosopher Auguste Comte, is located in the Place de la Sorbonne in Paris and was inaugurated in 1902. In the centre of Injalbert's composition is a bust of Auguste Comte and to the left is Clotilde de Vaux depicted as a "Madonna with Child" whilst on the right the "proletariat" give de Vaux instructions. Auguste Comte by Injalbert. Place de la Sorbonne
Gobelins Factory in 42 av des Gobelins Paris	Paris	It was in 1912 that this building was erected, designed by Jean-Camille Formigé. The Gobelins tapestry manufacture was one of France's oldest and most prestigious enterprises. Some of the earlier buildings had been destroyed by fire in 1871 or fallen into general disrepair, so Formigé was asked to design a new building . He decorated the front of the building with four columns each surmounted by a caryatid and commissioned Injalbert to sculpt them and Paul Landowski was commissioned to carve a bas-relief. Today the Gobelins premises consist of four irregular buildings dating to the seventeenth century, plus the building on the avenue des Gobelins built by Formigé. These buildings contain Charles Le Brun's residence and workshops that served as foundries for most of the bronze statues in the park of Versailles, as well as looms on which tapestries are still woven following seventeenth century techniques. The Gobelins factory still produces a limited amount of tapestries for the decoration of French governmental institutions these with contemporary subjects. Formigé's Gobelins building in Paris. Injalbert's 4 caryatides can be seen as well as Landowski's bas-relief
Cercle national des armées, a.k.a. Cercle militaire interarmes	Paris	This important Army headquarters is situated in Paris. It was built in 1927 on the site of former barracks and designed by architect Charles Lemaresquier.

The model for the soldier was used again as part of the Béziers war memorial on the plateau des Poètes.
War memorial at Laurens in Hérault		This war memorial has a marble work by Injalbert which comprises a crowing rooster, symbolizing France, with a German "pickelhauber" helmet at its feet. The monument was erected in 1920 and bears the inscription " RF ENFANTS N'OUBLIEZ PAS C'EST POUR VOUS QU'ILS SONT MORTS 1914 1918 RF" This is followed by the names of those remembered. The plaster model had been created by Injalbert in 1919 and was held in Béziers' museum and Injalbert donated a marble version to Laurens as he often purchased his marble from the local quarries.
The war memorial of Béziers		At the end of 1918 the then mayor of Béziers, Jules Manquié, proposed that a war memorial be erected and a committee was organized, chaired by a Colonel Mirepoix, to organize it. A subscription to cover the costs was organized and Injalbert was chosen to carry out the sculptural work involved and the garden of the Plateau des Poètes was chosen as the site for the memorial. The memorial is an elaborate one and is inscribed "A NOS MORTS GLORIEUX / A TOUS LES ARTISANS DE LA / VICTOIRE / LA VILLE DE BEZIERS RECONNAISSANTE" . The memorial is carved from the white stone of Estaillades. Injalbert's composition for the memorial comprises a bronze "Angel of Victory" at the summit with groups placed around it. A soldier lies by one group, one suspects mortally wounded, whilst two women stand together overcome with grief and are embraced by a figure representing France. Elsewhere another soldier stands defiantly with his foot on a German Imperial eagle.
