Pierre Jules Mene, (1810 -1879) was a notable French Sculptor, considered by many to be the pioneer of animal sculpture in the nineteenth-century.
Mene produced numerous animal sculptures, mainly of domestic animals such as horses, cows and bulls, sheep, goats and so on - all very much in vogue during the Second Empire. He was one of a "school of French animalieres" which also included Pierre Louis Rouillard, Antoine-Louis Barye, and Francois Pompon. Mene' himself specialised in small bronze figures.
