Fanny Marc (1858–1937) was a French sculptor. She was born Estelle Odile Fanny Legendre [1] on May 22, 1858, in Paris [2] and lived in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, where a street, rue Fanny Marc, is named for her. [1]
Marc studied under sculptors Alexandre Falguière, Louis-Ernest Barrias and Georges Lemaire, [2] and exhibited a sculpture group at the Grand Palais in 1904, at the annual show of the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors. This work was judged "among the best of the sculptures" at the exhibit by The Times of London. [3] She was awarded the third-place medal in 1904, and second place in 1906. [2]
For avoiding clichés in Biblical subjects Marc was called "a lady sculptor of genius" in a 1912 inventory of French sculptors by Henry Heathcote Statham in which she and Yvonne Diéterle where the only two women. [4]
Fanny Marc died on May 1, 1937. [1]

La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, ville féconde de nombreux artistes, compte parmi eux Fanny Marc, connue pour ses sculptures mais également pour avoir été une femme généreuse et humaine. De souche Fertoise, son père Odile Legendre, marchand meunier demeurait à Mourette ainsi que sa famille maternelle Vasseur. Fanny Marc vécu une partie de sa vie à la Ferté-sous-Jouarre au hameau de Mourette, dans une petite propriété dénommée « Castel Mourette » et le moulin du même nom attenant, où de grandes baies vitrées évoquent l'atelier d'un artiste.
