Augustus Saint-Gaudens

Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848 - 1907) was active/lived in New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts / France.  Augustus Saint Gaudens is known for Portrait and figure sculpture, monuments.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Augustus Saint-Gaudens became one of the more famous American sculptors of the late 19th century and was associated with a period called The Gilded Age. He brought the Beaux Arts style to America, as he had studied in Italy and France, where he had had rigorous training which included model classical subjects from plaster casts. A work for which he is particularly known is the monumental statue "Diana," a gilded copper weathervane for the top of the Madison Square Garden Tower in New York City. Thirteen feet high, it was installed in 1894.

He came to New York City as an infant and his father became a shoemaker. At age thirteen, Augustus apprenticed to a cameo cutter and then studied art at Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design where he drew from antique casts and worked in clay. In 1867, he enrolled for three years in the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and supported himself by making cameos and copies of famous sculpture.
