Nella vita di Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux
Tutta la vita1868
Opens his own studio in Auteuil
He opens his own studio in the Paris district of Auteuil (other accounts say as early as 1866) in order to reproduce his work and take on larger commissions; his brother manages sales. He multiplies his sculpture models in plaster, terracotta, bronze and marble, also using independent founders to cast them in bronze.
27 aprile 1869
Married: Amélie de Montfort
27 – 28 August 1869
An inkwell is thrown at “The Dance”
In the night of 27–28 August 1869 an indignant gentleman hurls an inkwell at the sculpture. It is soon cleaned, but satirical magazines are full of spiteful caricatures, and Prosper Mérimée fumes that savages are dancing the cancan before the Opéra, marvelling that the police do not intervene.
1874
Jealousy leads to divorce
Carpeaux’s unhealthy jealousy of his wife leads to their divorce in 1874.
