The tomb of Alphonse Baudin at the Montmartre Cemetery (located in the 27th Division) is a highly significant historical and political monument in Paris.
Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Baudin, a republican representative and doctor, became a martyr for democracy when he was shot dead on the barricades of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine on December 3, 1851, while protesting the coup d'état of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (later Napoleon III). His famous last words to the workers were: "You will see how one dies for 25 francs a day" (referring to the daily salary of a lawmaker).

Features of the Monument

The Sculpture: The most striking feature of the monument is the impressive bronze gisant (recumbent effigy) of Baudin. It was created by the renowned sculptor Aimé Millet and inaugurated in 1872.
Realistic Details: The statue depicts Baudin lying flat on his back, just as he fell on the barricades. The sculptor included a stark, realistic bullet hole in his forehead.
Political Legacy: During the Second Empire, his memory served as a rallying cry for republicans. In 1868, a public subscription to build this monument led to a famous trial of opposition journalists, which launched the political career of the great orator Léon Gambetta.

Note on his Final Resting Place
While the spectacular tomb and bronze statue remain a key highlight of the Montmartre Cemetery, it is technically a cenotaph (an empty tomb) today. In 1889, to mark the centennial of the French Revolution, Baudin's remains were exhumed and ceremonially transferred to the Panthéon, where he rests alongside other national heroes.

The Tomba Giacomo Carpaneto is Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, Italy.

The tomb is renowned for its magnificent marble sculpture titled L'Angelo Nocchiero (The Angel-Helmsman).

• The Artist: It was sculpted in 1886 by the renowned Genovese artist Giovanni Scanzi (1840–1915).

• The Commission: It was ordered by Giacomo Carpaneto, a prominent Genoese merchant and Knight of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus (Cav. Mauriziano), to serve as his family tomb.

• Artistic Style: The monument transitions between Realism and Symbolism. It captures intense, fluid motion in solid marble—simulating windy weather, billowing garments, and the fine textures of the angel's wings.

Symbolism & Allegory
The sculpture uses a nautical metaphor to represent the transition from life to death. It depicts a Guiding Angel standing inside a boat, carefully tying up the sails as the ship safely reaches the shore. This represents the successful and peaceful conclusion of life's turbulent journey.

At the base of the monument, an evocative Italian epigraph is carved:
"Avventurato chi nel mare della vita ebbe nocchiero sì fido"
Translation: "Blessed is he who on the sea of life had so sure a guide."

Die Tomba Giacomo Carpaneto ist ein weltberühmtes Grabmonument auf dem Cimitero Monumentale die Staglieno in Genua, Italien. Das Meisterwerk wurde im Jahr 1886 von dem italienischen Bildhauer Giovanni Scanzi (1840–1915) aus weißem Marmor geschaffen.
Das Grabmal ist vor allem für seine zentrale Skulptur bekannt, die als „L'Angelo Nocchiero“ (der Engel-Steuermann oder Lotsenengel) bezeichnet wird.

Wichtige Details zum Monument
• Das Symbol: Der Engel wird als jugendlicher Steuermann auf einem Boot dargestellt. Er zieht die Taue fest und rollt die Segel. Dies gilt in der sepulkralen Kunst als Allegorie für das Lebensende – das sichere Einlaufen des Schiffes in den Hafen der Ewigkeit nach einer erfolgreichen Lebensreise.
• Der Auftraggeber: Giacomo Carpaneto (1811–1878) war ein angesehener und wohlhabender genuesischer Kaufmann und Cavaliere Mauriziano. Scanzi begann mit den Entwürfen nach Carpanetos Tod.
• Lage auf dem Friedhof: Das Monument befindet sich im Porticato inferiore a levante (unterer östlicher Arkadengang) im Sektor A, Nische 25.
• Restaurierung: Im Jahr 2016 wurde die stark von Staub und Umwelteinflüssen gezeichnete Skulptur von lokalen genuesischen Kunsthandwerkern aufwendig restauriert, sodass der weiße Marmor heute wieder Details wie die feinen Gesichtszüge und die Textur des Segels zur Geltung bringt.
Die Inschrift an der Basis enthält den religiös inspirierten Satz: „Avventurato chi nel mare della vita ebbe nocchiero sì fido“ („Glücklich preisen darf sich, wer auf dem Meer des Lebens einen so treuen Steuermann hatte“)
