Catalogue Note
Aizelin was a pupil of Dumont and exhibited at the Salon between 1852 and 1897. He won a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889 and was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1867. The original model for the Nymphe de Diane was exhibited at the Salon of 1885 (No.3276) and subsequently edited by Ferdinand Barbedienne in bronze and marble.
