Considered to be an outsider artist, he is mainly known for the Rock Statues of Rothéneuf. Early life He was born in 1839 to an innkeeper father in Saint-Thual. Fouéré studied in the small seminary of Saint-Méen-le-Grand before continuing his training in the great seminary in Rennes. At that time he took up the pseudonym "Fouré". Career He was ordained a priest on 19 December 1863. He was appointed successively from 1864 to 1877 as curate at Paimpont, where he ministered to the chapel of Saint-Éloi-des-Forges.

Saint Budoc
Saint Budoc of Dol (also Budeaux or Beuzec) was a Bishop of Dol, venerated after his death as a saint in both Brittany (now in France) and Devon (now in England). Saint Budoc is the patron of Plourin Ploudalmezeau in Finistère where his relics are preserved. His feast day was celebrated on 8 December, the date still used in Devon, but in Brittany this was moved to 9 December. Name The name Budoc, or Beuzec, means "saved from the waters" from the Breton ''beuziñ'' meaning "drown"; but Baring-Gould finds this "fanciful". In old Celtic, ''boudi'' means "victory" and "profit". Life Baring-Gould suggests that the princess Azenor fled Brittany with her young son due to dynastic conflict. Arriving first in Cornwall, they then proceeded to Ireland, where Budoc became a monk. They later returned to Brittany, landing at Porspoder near Brest. Hagiographer G.H. Doble is of the opinion that Budoc was a once famous abbot whose chief establishment was on the Breton coast. The vita of B ...

Sculptors From Brittany
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Sculpture is the three-dimensional art work which is physically presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or moulded or cast. Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, and this has been lost. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
