CAVELIER, PIERRE JULES (French). Modern Sculptor and Medallist; born at Paris in 1814; pupil of David d'Angers and P. Delaroche; entered the Ecole des Beaux -Arts in 1831; he obtained several prizes at the annual Paris Salons, between 1836 and 1867.

CAPUTI
CAPUTI (Ital.). Medallist of the early part of the present century. There is a portrait of Cardinal Consalvi by him.

Lehnert's biography of the medallist Henri Francois Brandt. In the Duke of Cambridge's Sale (June 1904) was a circular onyx cameo of Saint George slaying the Dragon (The lesser George of the most noble Order of the Gar...
