Émile Coriolan Hippolyte Guillemin (French pronunciation: [emil ɡijmɛ̃]; October 16, 1841 – 1907) was a French sculptor of the Belle Époque, specializing in bronze sculptures. He studied under his father, the painter Auguste Guillemin, and under Jean-Jules Salmson. He exhibited his works at the Paris Salon from 1870 to 1899, and in 1897 he received an honorable mention. In 2008, his 1884 bronze sculpture Femme Kabyle d'Algerie and Janissaire du Sultan Mahmoud II (Kabyle Woman of Algeria and Janissary of Sultan Mahmoud II) was sold for $1,202,500 plus auction fees in New York to a private collector through the Sotheby's auction house.
Some versions of his Cavalier Arabe are signed by both him and Alfred Barye, suggesting a collaboration.
Émile Coriolan Hippolyte Guillemin made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1870, where he exhibited a pair of Roman gladiators, Retaire and Mirmillon, drawn from antiquity. Guillemin specialized in figurative works and drew great inspiration from the Middle East and its exoticism. Representations of Indian falconers, Turkish maidens, and Japanese courtesans consolidated Guillemin's reputation as an Orientalist sculptor from the mid-1870s onwards.
