French sculptor and medallist Raoul Eugène Lamourdedieu studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux where he was taught woodcarving, continuing his studies in Paris. In 1900 he helped develop decorative sculptures that decorated the Grand Palais. Until 1930, when he became a professor at the Beaux-Arts, Lamourdedieu presented his works through various exhibitions. His work, influenced first by Rodin, and later by the work of Bourdelle and Maillol, was in line with the figurative tradition.
