Overall view; Franck (1822-1890) was a composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher who worked in Paris. In 1858 he became organist at Sainte-Clotilde, a position he retained for the rest of his life. In 1904, a monument to Franck by sculptor Alfred Lenoir, "César Franck at the Organ", was placed in the Square Samuel-Rousseau (created 1857) across the street from Sainte-Clotilde. Lenoir was known as a portraitist and was the son of Albert Lenoir, founder of the Musée de Cluny, and grandson of Alexandre Lenoir, founder of the Musée des monuments français.
