Camille Alaphilippe

Camille Alaphilippe (1874 – after 1934) was a French sculptor.

Alaphilippe was born in Tours in 1874. At the age of 19, he was the pupil of Jean-Paul Laurens and Louis-Ernest Barrias to the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts of Paris.

In 1898, at 24, he won the first great Prix de Rome in sculpture with a statue on the subject Caïn après la mort d'Abel poursuivi par la vengeance céleste or Caïn après la mort d'Abel entend la malédiction de l'Éternel.
