Mac Monnies studied at the Art Students' League in New York as well with Falguière at the School of Beaux-Arts in Paris and received an award at the Paris Salon in 1889 and other distinctions, again in Paris in 1900, 1901 and 1902.
Mac Monnies was attracted by military themes and earned a solid reputation in the U.S after exhibiting his works in Chicago in 1893. He received many orders from America while in Paris and executed statues in a typical French style.
His most important works were «Shakespeare», the bronze doors of the library of the U.S House of Congress or the sculpture of the Memorial Arch in Brooklyn.
Mac Monnies founded an art school in 1905 in Giverny, the place of Monet's residence, and returned to the U.S in 1915.
