Paul De Vigne was taught by his uncle Félix De Vigne, Théodore Canneel and his father Pierre De Vigne and then continued his studies at the Antwerp Academy with Jozef Geefs. In 1884 and 1889, De Vigne exhibited as an invitee at Les XX. The sculptor often stayed in the company of befriended artists. Several portraits by and of him bear witness to his contacts. In his work, he combined a realistic representation with a classical grace which he admired in the sculpture of the Italian Renaissance. Here, he sculpts a bust of his fellow townsman, the painter Lieven De Winne. After De Winne's sudden death, De Vigne paid tribute to his friend with the sculpture Immortality from 1881.
