Life

He was born in Paris, the son of Marie Bidauld and the sculptor Alphonse Lami. On 24 June 1891 he married Émilie, the daughter of Austrian Charles Sedelmeyer, art dealer and editor.

Works

Some of his works are on show in museums in Spain. The musée d'Orsay has his marble sculpture of a Chien danois (c.1892) – he also produced a Death-Mask of Berlioz (1884) now held at the bibliothèque de l'Opéra de Paris. He gave one of his works to his relation Charles de Gaulle. Stanislas Lami exhibited frequently at the Paris Salons, including that of 1897, and at the Chicago salon of 1893. In the end his descendants held onto the majority of his works. He died in Paris in January, 1944, aged 85.
