Although mostly self-taught, Pierre Jules Mene, (P. J. Mene) was encouraged by sculptor Rene Compaire, and was also influenced by two painters: Edwin Landseer of England with his expressive sentimentality, as well as Carle Vernet of France, in capturing spirit, grace and compositional beauty in sculptural form. Mene was one of the most prolific and popular sculptors of the Animalier School, as well as one of its earliest pioneers. His sculptures were widely collected by the public during his lifetime. Charming and charismatic, Mene was accepted socially within the various French artistic communities.
