Jean BULIO (1827-1911) Jean Bulio was born in Fabrègues, Hérault, on December 1, 1827. He moved to Paris, where he became a student of Armand Toussaint, and then entered the École des Beaux-Arts on October 10, 1851. He made his debut at the 1859 Salon with the chalk painting "Pandora." Honorable mention in 1882 and 1886. He exhibited for the last time in 1903 and then retired to Montpellier where he died on March 27, 1911. SUSSE frères The Susse brothers' company, founded in 1758 in Paris, initially specializing in stationery, enjoyed great success in the art foundry sector. A world-renowned foundry, Maison Susse began producing bronzes in the first half of the 19th century. The greatest French sculptors entrusted them with their sculpted works to be cast in bronze, such as Pradier who signed the oldest known publishing contract in 1841. In 1847, they used the reduction method, which allowed the production of small bronze reproductions of famous works. Under the Second Empire, the company prospered, with many artists adding to its catalog. Confirming their success during the famous Expositions des Produits de l’Industrie in Paris, the Susse Brothers were listed as manufacturers of “Art bronzes for clocks, candelabras, vases, statuettes, etc.” from 1841. Based at Place de la Bourse in Paris, they also displayed “cabinetwork, mounted porcelain and objets d’art” on the first floor of their luxurious store. After the death of the two brothers, Albert Susse succeeded them as director of the firm from 1880 to 1922.
