Henri Chapu

At least four full-scale reproductions of Jeanne d'Arc are on permanent display at American universities in Virginia: in McConnell Library at Radford University in Radford, Virginia, beneath the rotunda in Ruffner Hall at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, at James Madison University, and at the University of Mary Washington.

Born in Le Mée-sur-Seine into modest circumstances, Chapu moved to Paris with his family and in 1847 entered the Petit École with the intention of studying drawing and becoming an interior decorator.
