This first HD photo shows the sculpture group located at the top on either side of a window on the Pavillon Mollien called La Science Moderne et l'Art, which in English translates to Modern Science and Art and this was produced by Charles Emile Seurre, also known as Seurre the Younger.
Charles Emile Seurre was born in Paris in 1798 and studied under Pierre Cartellier to become a French sculptor, just as his older brother had also done, and having won the Prix de Rome, he received many public commissions including some for the Louvre Museum like this sculpture.
Yet he is most well known for statues of famous men, with some to be found at the famous Chateau de Versailles, however, another statue by Charles Emile Seurre, Seurre the Younger, is that of Napoleon Bonaparte, which can be seen within the Cour d'Honneur of Les Invalides in Paris.
But this next photograph shows the position of La Science moderne et l'Art sculpture on the second level above the central window on the Pavillon Mollien, and although this pavilion is classed as within the courtyard of The Louvre called the Cour Napoleon, you would need to be standing in the Cour du Carrousel in order to see the western facade shown here.
