The impeccable craftsmanship demonstrated in the rendering of the woman’s face, neck and the background details of the necklace speak to de Vernon’s abilities as a sculptor and as a medallist. We love the way he has taken a design and manipulated the metal in such a way that results in a subtle and realistic image, even managing to evoke a mood through the woman’s expression.
The great engraver of Art Nouveau time - Frédéric-Charles-Victor de Vernon (1858-1912).
Vernon is best remembered as an engraver of medals. His work can be found in the collection of the BritishMuseum and the Met, as well as in several museums in his homeland of France.
⠀
De Vernon was born in Paris on November 17, 1858. He apprenticed in the studio of the engraver Paulin Tasset. At the age of 21, he enrolled in the École des Beaux-Arts, studying under the sculptor Pierre-Jules Cavelier and most importantly of all, Jules-Clément Chaplain.
⠀
In 1881, he won second great Prix de Rome and in 1887 the first grand prix of Rome. After winning this prestigious awards, De Vernon spent three years working in Rome at the French Academy (also known as the Villa Medici) from 1887-1890, where he produced portraits, including those of the Impressionist painter Henri-Camille Danger, the sculptor Edgar Boutry, the musician Gustave Charpentier as well as a noted triptych depicting The Three Ages. From Rome, de Vernon sent work to Paris to be displayed at the 1889 World’s Fair, an exposition most notable for debuting the Eiffel Tower.
⠀
In 1900, he designed the official medals for the 1900 Summer Olympics held in Paris. These medals are unique in being the only Olympic medals to be rectangular rather than the traditional circular design. Member of the Société des artistes français since 1896, he was elected member of the Académie des beaux-arts in 1909.
