BARBEDIENNE IN PARIS, TRIPTYCH CLOCK, WITH CHARIOT AND CUPIDOS, FRANCE 1870 CA Ferdinand Barbedienne (Aug. 6, 1810 ; Mar. 21, 1892) was a prominent French brozist. The son of a small farmer in Calvados, he began his career as a wallpaper merchant in Paris. In 1838 he entered into partnership with Achille Collas (1795-1859), who had invented a machine to create miniature replicas of bronze statues. Together they started a business selling miniatures of ancient statues from museums throughout Europe, making the art more accessible and affordable to all. With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the company had to switch to cannon casting due to metal shortages, but later resumed the bronzeur business. After Barbedienne's death in 1892, who was buried in Père-Lachaise Cemetery, the company was carried on by his grandson Gustave Leblanc until 1952. Barbedienne worked plaster for Antoine Louis Barye and Auguste Rodin.

He joined the Conseil des Constructions in 1855, and at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855 he was awarded a second-class medal. He produced several important works, including Meditation by A. Schoenewerke (1820-1885), Leonardo da Vinci and Benvenuto Cellini by A.E. Carrier-Belleuse (1824-1887), Cypriot Nursing Love by J.E. Marcellin (1821-1884) (exhibited at the 1863 Salon), and Daphnis and Chloë by M. Moreau (1822-1912). In 1862, Lemaire extended his business to 121 rue Vieille-du-Temple while maintaining his workshop on rue Saintonge. According to Alfred de Champeaux (1833-1903), an inspector of the Fine Arts of the city of Paris, Lemaire produced halos, candelabra, and chandeliers after the Robert brothers' models in the Renaissance or Henry II styles, as well as Louis XVI-style watch parures.

The painting \"The Oath of the Horatii\" by Jacques-Louis David, which today is shown at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, served as a template for this pendulum clock. The subject is taken from the stories of the Roman historian Titus Livius, who in his work \"Ab urbe condita\" reports on the battles of the Horatii against the Curiatii. In the 7th century BC, the cities of Rome and Alba Longa were at odds with each other. Since both were afraid of the external threat from the Etruscans, it was decided to spare the troops of both camps and to have a fight of a few representatives of each city. Belonging to the oldest families of Rome, the three sons of the Horatii were chosen as fighters. For Alba Longa, the three brothers of the Curatii clan fought against them. Although the Horatii emerged victorious from the battle, the story nevertheless came to a rather tragic end. Only the youngest brother survived and was able to defeat his opponents only by using a trick. He then killed his sister, who was mourning the loss of her fiancé - one oft he Curatii. The case went down in Roman legal history, as the last descendant of the Curatii was acquitted due to his bravery and steadfastness.
