Who carved the image of the warrior of the Marseillaise on the Arc de Triomphe in France?

Luther. The group relief "La Marseillaise" decorated on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (also known as "1792 The Departure of Volunteers") is his masterpiece. This relief was completed in 1836, located on the right side of the Arc de Triomphe (50 meters high and 45 meters wide). Luther (1784.1~1855.11) is the most outstanding sculptor in France in the 9th century. In the history of romantic sculpture, his relief is considered immortal. Ruud, the son of a wealthy businessman, entered the studio of Pierre Cartier, a Paris sculptor, at the age of 23. 1809 and 18 12 won the "Rome Prize" twice, but they failed to go to Italy for further study because of the unstable political situation in France and the empty state treasury. When Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, Ruud took part in the imperial activities at that time. When the emperor collapsed, he was also forced into exile in Belgium. Twelve years in exile made him miserable, and since then he has gradually matured politically. After returning to China, inspired by the French people's revolutionary wave, he quickly became a romantic sculptor. His works have both classical rigor and romantic passion. The profound significance of this "La Marseillaise" lies in its theme: the French people rose up against the Austrian aggression. From the content and style, it can be compared with Delacroix's Free Leadership of the People. In composition, it has the same effect as the latter. The relief "La Marseillaise" is divided into two parts: the first part is centered on a winged goddess, symbolizing freedom, justice and victory. Holding a sword in her right hand and holding her left hand high, she called on the people to run in the direction she guided. Her wings spread, her dress fluttered and her image was bold and powerful. The two legs strode forward, which strengthened the sense of progress of the relief image. The passion she summoned in her heart reflected the revolutionary enthusiasm of the French people at that time. The lower part is a group of volunteers. In the middle, the mature soldier with a beard, with a firm and passionate expression, is turning his head and shouting at the crowd on the left, with a helmet on his head in his right hand. Next to him on the left is his son, and the teenager is more determined and powerful by his father. The rest of the characters are old soldiers with shields and swords, young people playing marching horns, and archers bent down to tie weapons. These characters are all integrated, showing a tense momentum, and a fierce battle is about to begin. Behind it are flying flags and many bows, spears, guns and arrows. These details are integrated with the characters in front, forming a momentum of thousands of troops. Artists have widely used romantic symbolism here, showing the people's majestic resistance. In order to defend the motherland, this torrent of fighting seems to have rushed out of the city wall, giving people great appeal. When Luther first designed the relief for the Arc de Triomphe, he had four sketches to decorate the four walls around the Arc de Triomphe (the Arc de Triomphe was built in 1806). The contents are: departure, return, defense and peace (these sketches are still preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris). These sketches are grand and complete. Every painting reflects the artist's patriotism. Unfortunately, the relevant departments later changed their plans and only chose one of them to decorate the wall on the right side of the main entrance. On the left, it was replaced by the relief "The Coronation of Napoleon" made by the classical sculptor cortot (1787 ~ 1843). The two reliefs on the back also use the works of an immature young sculptor Attucks (1808 ~ 1888). In this way, the four reliefs on the Arc de Triomphe became four different styles, which seemed fragmented. Luther was forced to change his original plan and had to re-conceive it and adopt a new theme: La Marseillaise. "La Marseillaise" is a patriotic song sung by the people of Marseille when the Austrian army intervened in the French Revolution in 1792. After the founding of France, it was immediately decided to use it as the national anthem of France. Luther borrowed this title as the name of the relief, no doubt to publicize the revolution on this magnificent Arc de Triomphe building, to publicize the patriotic thoughts of the French people, and to make this relief a monument symbolizing the people's democratic thoughts. "La Marseillaise" is much better than the classical relief on the left, both in modeling and expression of characters' emotions. La Marseillaise made him famous. When it was finished, the author was 52 years old. 1855, Luther won the gold medal of the World Expo sculpture with this relief of "La Marseillaise" and enjoyed this honor for life. On the 3rd of that year 1 1 month, the sculptor died at the age of 72.
