A smiling young boy clasps a shell up to his ear in this artist's (*) Neapolitan Fisherboy, a much smaller-scale work than his Observatory Fountain. A marble sculpture by this artist depicts two dead boys around a screaming youth who embraces the legs of the title character, who is horrifiedly gnawing on his fingers. In another sculpture by this artist, a winged naked man with upward-flowing hair enthusiastically lifts a tambourine as leery naked women join hands to circle around him. Though he is not Rodin, this artist did a famous sculpture of Ugolino and his Sons. For 10 points, name this French neoclassical sculptor of The Dance, found in the Palais Garnier.
