Pierre Marie François Ogé was a French sculptor born in Saint-Brieuc on 24 March 1849 and who died in Paris on 5 June 1913.
On the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, Ogé enlisted with the army of the Loire and returned to work with Carpeaux when hostilities ceased.
The Germans took several other bronzes from Buttes-Chaumont including Jean Baffier's statue of Jean-Paul Marat and Camille Lefèvre's "Le Gué" [2][3] This composition was exhibited in 1885 and is held in Saint-Brieuc's museum and art gallery.
Antoine was the leading architect in the design and building of Paris' Hôtel de la Monnaie and Ogé was commissioned to execute this marble bust in 1900.
[15] A bronze sculpture depicting Poulain de Corbion was sculpted by Ogé in 1889 and erected in Saint Brieuc but requisitioned by the occupying Germans and melted down in 1942.
Poulain Corbion had been the mayor of Saint-Brieuc killed in 1799 by the Chouans, Yet another Ogé bronze melted down by the Germans was the 1899 statue of Henri Dupuy de Lôme in Lorient.
