David (d’Angers), Pierre-Jean (1789-1856), must not be confounded with the great painter Louis David. David d’Angers was a celebrated sculptor of republican principles, who executed busts or medallions of most of the eminent men of his day. He was a great friend of Hugo, who wrote of him in Les Rayons et les Ombres: ‘La forme, ô grand sculpteur, c’est tout et ce n’est rien. Ce n’est rien sans l’esprit, c’est tout avec l’idée!’—(Translator’s Note.)
