Paul Cabet

Suzanne, by Paul Cabet, 1861

Jean-Baptiste Paul Cabet (1 February 1815, Nuits, Yonne – 1876, Paris), was a French sculptor. He was the pupil of François Rude, his stepfather.

Having achieved his own fame, he was the author of the statue known under the name of Résistance as a witness to the heroic fightings in Dijon during the 1870 war, which generated significant controversy.[1]

The Musée d'Orsay holds several of Cabet's sculptures in its collections, including Saint Martin partageant son manteau, Mil huit cent soixante et onze, Chant et Poésie, Désespoir, and Suzanne.[2]
