Etienne Jules Ramey, Marble, “Theseus Slaying the Minotaur”, 1821-27, Jardin des Tuileries, France
Ramey was born in Paris and was a pupil of his father, Claude Rame. He trained in the studio of Pierre Cartellier, won the Prix de Rome in sculpture, 1815, with the subject, equally classicizing and sentimental, “Ulysses Recognized by His Dog”, and collaborated with David d’Angers on the sculptures for the triumphal arch at Marseille, the Porte d’Aix, 1828 to 1839.
His worked in partnership with Augustin-Alexandre Dumont and taught at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. One of his pupils there was the Belgian sculptor Guillaume Geefs; another was Jean-Joseph Perraud.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
