For 10 points, identify this French sculptor of the Statue of Liberty.
This man attempted to design a giant balloon filled with glass that could be lit at night and built a classical fountain with gas-powered lighting for the 1876 International Exhibition. He designed the The Tomb of the Garde Nationale, which shows a bronze arm attempting but failing to reach a sword. The death of a young Parisian student inspired his Funerary Genius. He produced a statue of Vercengetorix on horseback for Clermont-Ferrand and an enormous sandstone statue, The Lion of Belfort, plus other monuments honoring the Franco-Prussian war. Another sculpture by this artist was originally planned to hold a pileus and a broken chain, but was instead made to hold a tabula and a torch on a base shaped like an eleven-pointed star.
