About Antoine Capaldo
Antoine Capaldo (active late 19th–early 20th century) was a French sculptor known for his finely modeled terracotta and bronze works, particularly in the animalier tradition. He exhibited at the prestigious Salon des Artistes Français in the 1910s, where his creations were praised for their naturalistic detail and expressive energy. Capaldo’s work was often edited by renowned Parisian houses such as Fontaine
Durieux, contributing to his presence in important private collections of French decorative arts. His sculptures reflect the transition from late-19th-century realism to the emerging aesthetics of early Art Deco.
