Eugene Delaplanche, ne a Belleville (Seine) le 28 fevrier 1836, et mort a Paris le 10 janvier 1891, est un sculpteur français.
eleve de Francisque Duret a l'ecole des beaux-arts de Paris, Eugene Delaplanche obtient le prix de Rome en sculpture et devient pensionnaire de la Villa Medicis a Rome de 1864 a 1867.
Artiste au talent souple et savant, Delaplanche fut particulierement apprecie durant le Second Empire. Mais alors que sous Napoleon III, sensualisme, abondance des formes et etude du mouvement dominent, Delaplanche appartient un groupe de jeunes sculpteurs un peu en retrait. Le vif interet manifeste par eux a la grâce florentine se manifeste dans les effets tires des jeux de plans et de drapes et donne ici une figure qui unit l'unite expressive a une sensible poesie. Chez la plupart de ces artistes, l'horreur de la theorie s'allie a un attachement aux compositions savantes, une repugnance a l'egard des dogmes scolaires comme du realisme, mais une foi en l'importance du sujet.

Delaplanche Eugene, born in Belleville (Seine) February 28th, 1836, and died in Paris January 10, 1891, was a French sculptor.
Francisque Duret student at the School of Fine Arts of Paris, Eugene Delaplanche gets the Prix de Rome in sculpture and became a resident at the Villa Medici in Rome from 1864 to 1867.
Artist and scientist flexible talent Delaplanche was particularly appreciated during the Second Empire. But whereas under Napoleon III, sensuality, abundance of forms and study of movement dominated, Delaplanche owns a group of young sculptors a little behind. The keen interest shown by them to the Florentine grace manifested in the effects from game plans and draperies and here gives a figure which combines expressive unity with sensitive poetry. In most of these artists, the horror of the theory is combined with a dedication to scholarly compositions, a reluctance to regard school as dogmas of realism, but faith in the importance of the subject.
