Über die Skulptur
Dalou was actively involved in the commune in Paris of 1871 (the brief but influential "dictatorship of the proletariat" in the city) and fled later that year as a political exile to London where he remained until 1880. With the exception of two works (including this piece), all of his sculpture at the V&A, dates from this period when Dalou had a profound impact on the development of British sculpture.
Back in Paris, in 1889 Dalou started planning a 'monument to the workers' to commemorate their toil and heroism and he worked on this project on and off until his death. This bronze is a reduced version of a full-scale figure (versions in bronze in the Musée d'Orsay; and, in plaster, in the Petit Palais, Paris) which were sculpted as part of this project. The V&A's small bronze 'Worker with a shovel' (Museum number A.31-1971) was also created as part of this project.
