		The government of the restored Bourbons (1815-30) conferred on Pradier a number of prestigious commissions, notably a marble monument to Jean, Duc de Berry, for the Cathedral of Versailles (1821-3), and a marble relief for the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (1828-31), Paris.
		Pradier played a major role in many of the ambitious decorative schemes of the July Monarchy, in particular at the Madeleine and the Palais Bourbon.
		Despite aspersions cast by critics on the correctness of Pradier's treatment of myth, he remained the leading classical sculptor of his day and exerted a strong influence in the 1840s and 1850s, when a reaction to the turbulent styles of Romanticism prevailed.

		I would like to know if the Spode museum has any other examples of this work or of any other work by Pradier and if there is any documentation, published or manuscript, relating to this or any of his works reproduced in porcelain by the Spode/Copeland factories.
		It would seem that Copeland's made arrangements with individual sculptors to use their work or to pay for a model from which a mould could be made for the company to then produce the pieces in parian but there seems to be no systematic format for the arrangements.
		It is particularly fascinating to know that the Copeland Undine figure was available as early as 1848 and that all four of the Nîmes figures may have been reproduced in porcelain as part of a centrepiece.

		On his return to France, he showed at the Salon of 1819 a group Centaur and Bacchante (untraced) and a reclining Bacchante (marble; Rouen, Mus.
		The latter, borrowing an erotically significant torsion from the Antique Callipygean Venus, opens the series of sensuous Classical female subjects that were to become Pradier’s forte.

		First shown in bronze at the 1848 Paris Salon (Collection of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, Osborne House, Isle of Wight), this statue shows the Greek poet Sappho leaning elegantly against an Ionic column, holding a lyre in her left hand and flanked by various offerings to Venus, as well as a pair of cooing doves.
		The present sculpture is one of two known bronze casts of this large Standing Sappho, made by the founder Victor Paillard under Pradier's supervision, probably around the time of London's Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851.
		Another model of this sculpture was cast in solid silver (Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, England).
