Valsuani, Numéroté 2/10 Top. 24 cm (without the base) - Long. 29 cm Auguste Nicolas Trémont dit Auguste Trémont is a Luxembourg painter and sculptor, specialized in animal sculpture. At the end of the First World War, Auguste Trémont came to Paris where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. Visits to the Jardin des Plantes, the zoological garden with the animals give birth to his vocation. When he was later asked why he chose to represent animals, he says répond : "because it was the most difficult task". In 1924, Auguste Trémont created his first sculptures. The end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s are his most productive years. It was during this period that he sculpted two large lions in Paris, which now adorn the entrance to the Luxembourg City Hall.
