Text: Calcination du plomb dans l’air au verre ardent. Vicq d’Azir [sic] Guyton de Morveau Monge Berthollet Laplace Lamarck Lagrange Condrocet. E. Barrias
Comment: this plaster model, in natural size, of the bronze bas relief which Barrias prepared for his statue of Lavoisier was donated to the Musée de Grenoble by Barrias’ widow in 1908. It was restored in 1989 by P. Klein. The representation of a lecture by Lavoisier to his colleagues at the Académie is probably a free reconstruction of Barrias. The experiments with the verre ardent in fact date 1772 and by that date none of the scientists reproduced by Barrias, with the exception of Guyton who was not yet a member of the Académie des sciences, had an interest in Lavoisier’s experiment.
