Description:
|
His name is sometimes rendered Le Quesne. Lequesne was born and died in Paris. In 1841, he entered the École nationale des beaux-arts, in James Pradier's workshop. In 1843, he won the second Prix de Rome, and in 1844 the first prize. He lived at the Académie de France à Rome from 1844 to 1849, alongside Jean-Louis Charles Garnier. This work was inspired by the dancing faun statue discovered at Pompeii in 1830. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
