[1] This monument, with Vermare's sculptures of 1895 cast in bronze by the Denonvilliers foundry, is located in a public garden in Saint-Chamond, Loire.
One is a woman who reaches up to the bust holding a sprig of laurel and the other is a youngster, representing the metallurgical industry, who sits on an anvil and before a large metal press.
In 1899 the set subject was "La douleur d'Adam et Ève devant le cadavre d'Abel" and Vermare's submission won him the prize.
The Rhône in Vermale's composition is a muscular and naked man who is depicting swimming, seemingly against the force of the water.
[8] A 1905 marble version of Le Rhône et la Saône is held in Lyon's Chambre de commerce et d'industrie.
[9] In the photograph (figure 7) Vermare's relief can be seen between the two sets of stairs leading to the building's main entrance.
[10] Vermare was the sculptor of the huge Saint Étienne monument honouring those men of the Loire region who gave their lives for France in the Franco-Prussian war.
A competition had been launched to select the architect/sculptor to be given the commission to design and erect the monument and the maquette of the architect Varinard des Côtes and Vermare, entitled Alerte, was chosen.
In Vermare's composition, a winged female figure stands over the body of a soldier who has been mortally wounded and has collapsed against a canon and some broken fencing and rubble; the detritus of a battle.
Now living and working in Bréhat qualified Vermare to be commissioned to add a sculpture to the Paimpol war memorial.
The inscription reads "AUX ENFANTS DE PAIMPOL / MORTS POUR LA FRANCE / 1914 – 1918"The woman wears the embroidered hat worn in the Trégor-Goëllo region called the "toukenn".
The inscription reads "A LA GLOIRE DES ENFANTS DE DOL MORTS POUR LA FRANCE; followed by a list of the dead"[14][15][16] This memorial was inaugurated on 7 May 1922 and has a bronze version of Vermare's 1909 Jeanne d'Arc au Sacre as its main feature.
[17] This was another commune to use Vermare's Jeanne d'Arc au Sacre as the central feature of their war memorial.
The monument comprises a pyramid made from the red granite of the Vosges which had a bronze depiction of a "Chasseur Alpin" sculpted by Vermare and fellow sculptor Moreau Vautier.
[21] This eminent surgeon had been the mayor of Lyon and this elaborate monument in the place Gailleton was erected in his honour in 1913.
Sadly Vermare's bust on this monument fell foul of the occupying German's thirst for metals and was melted down in 1942.
It was in August 1906 that the "Association pour l'avancement des sciences" set up a committee to organise the erection of a statue of Ampère at Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or and gave the commission to Vermare.
The maquette was shown at the 1909 Paris Salon and although the final work was finished in 1912 it was not inaugurated until 1921, the delay being caused by the war.
The pedestal was inscribed " A BRILLAT-SAVARIN / AUTEUR DE LA PHYSIOLOGIE DU GOUT / 1755–1826 / CONVIER QUELQU’UN C’EST SE CHARGER DE SON BONHEUR PENDANT TOUT LE TEMPS QU'IL EST SOUS NOTRE TOIT"During the German occupation the bronze was removed and melted down for re-use.
Vermare's 1928 bust of the French architect is held in Besançon's Lycée polyvalent Jules Haag.
There is a copy in the Sainte-Addresse church in Bellerive-sur-Allier, The original marble work is in a side chapel of Lyon's primatiale Saint-Jean and was created in 1905 on the occasion of Vianney's beautification.
The original marble sculpture was executed in 1909 for the Église St-Louis des Français in Rome as part of the celebrations for Joan of Arc's beautification in that year, the use of Vermare's work being officially approved by Pope Pie X.
[35][36] This cathedral in Orléans has a later statue of Joan by Vermare dating to 1912, this located in the Sainte Jeanne d'Arc chapel.
