About Antoine Laurent Dantan
- Antoine Laurent Dantan (8 December 1798 in Saint-Cloud – 25 May 1878 in Saint-Cloud) was a French academic sculptor, known as 'Dantan the Elder' to distinguish him from his slightly younger brother, Jean-Pierre Dantan (1800–1869), who was also a sculptor.
- He won the Prix de Rome for sculpture in 1828. The Dantan brothers are sometimes confused in the literature.
- Indeed, they both entered the studio of François-Joseph Bosio, at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, at the same time in 1823.
- He was the subject of an article in the French newspaper L'Illustration in 1850.
- He had a son, Édouard Joseph Dantan (1848–1897), who became a well-known painter in his lifetime.
