Lucienne Antoinette-Adelaide Heuvelmans
French, 20th Century

Lucienne Antoinette Heuvelmans was born in 1885 in Paris, France. She studied under Laurent-Honoré Marqueste, Emmanuel Hannaux, and Denys Puech.

Working primarily in bronze to produce mostly religious figurative sculptures, she often exhibited her work at the Salons of the Société des Artistes Français. She was awarded Honorable Mention in 1907. In 1911, she was the first woman to receive the Prix de Rome, a prize women were allowed to compete for starting in 1903. She was also awarded a Bronze Medal in 1921. Heuvelmans executed various official commissions from the City of Paris and illustrated a few books. In 1926, she was elected Full Member, and received the Légion d’Honneur.

Heuvelmans’ work was sold at auction in Paris in 1983 and 1989 and continues to sell in auctions today (latest: March 19, 2007). Heuvelmans is listed in the Benezit dictionary of artists.

The date of her death is unknown.
