High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pierre Cartellier (2 December 1757 – 12 June 1831) was a French sculptor. Born in Paris, he studied at the Ecole Gratuite de Dessin in Paris and then in the studio of Charles-Antoine Bridan before attending the Academie Royale. During the French Revolution Cartellier was part of a team of sculptors who worked on the church of Ste. Genevieve in Paris to convert it to the Pantheon.At a time in European history when ancient works were the measure by which all statuary was judged, in 1801 Cartellier obtained wide recognition after exhibiting a plaster version of his statue of Modesty that was based on the free-standing statue of the Capitoline Venus in Rome. At the Bourbon Restoration he was given the commission to do the bronze equestrian statue of King Louis XIV that can be seen in the cour d'honneur of Versailles. At the time of his death only the horse had been cast. His son-in-law Louis Petitot completed it with the king's figure.
