Comment: Too heavy a reliance on primary sources. If Vibert is "notable", then material about his life and work will appear in published journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper articles, and/or book chapters. It won't be necessary to cite primary sources. If he isn't written up in secondary sources, he isn't "notable" (no matter how noteworthy he might be), and no article about him can be created.Please don't use "bare URLs" as references. For each web reference, the title of the page and of the website should be provided. I have converted one for you ("Réf. E6079: Statue"). -- Hoary (talk) 07:58, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Georges Albert Alexandre Vibert (12 February 1847 – 25 February 1909), known as Alexandre Vibert, was a French Art nouveau sculptor.
Career
[edit]He then [vague] switched to sculpture and from 1883 to 1907 exhibited at the Salon des artistes français, where he was awarded a mention[vague] in 1893. He exhibited in 1885 an important bronze sculpture L'Amour se rit de la Sagesse.[1]
He was mostly known in the 1890s for his various objects cast in bronze or pewter by the foundry Siot-Decauville, for example the pitcher La Pêche (1893) or La Chasse (1894). These pitchers were available in two sizes (height 21 and 43 cm).[2] He also designed some earthenware vases with Emile Muller[3] and chryselephantine statues.[4] His works are generally signed "A Vibert".
Personal life
[edit]Vibert was born in Épinay-sur-Orge on 12 February 1847.[5] Vibert was the pupil of Alexandre-Victor Lequien (1822–1905), of Emmanuel Frémiet and of Eugène Robert (1831–1912).
He married in July 1871 in Paris Maria Angèle Maissa (1838–1895), the widow of the cardboard manufacturer Gustave Orengo, and subsequently managed this business from 1871 to 1882 under the name Orengo-Vibert.
He committed suicide on 25 February 1909 in his home of Jouars-Pontchartrain.[6] The contents of his house, including the models of his works, were sold at the Drouot auction house in Paris on March 31. His family was grieved again by the death of his grandson Pierre Vibert at the tank battle of Leury near Soissons in September 1918.[7]
