Maxime Real del Sarte was born on 2 May 1888 in Paris, France, as the son of the sculptor Louis Desire Real and Marie Magdeleine Real del Sarte. He was a cousin of the painter Thérèse Geraldy and was also related to the composer Georges Bizet. [1] He graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts, and by 1911 was at the Académie Julian, where both his mother and an aunt were teachers.

[10] He founded the organization "Les Compagnons de Jeanne d'Arc". [11] He was wounded in an anti-parliamentary clash on 6 February 1934.
His statue of General Charles Mangin, which was made thanks to a subscription launched by Marshal Foch and erected on the Place Denys-Cochin, was destroyed by the Germans who occupied Paris in October 1940, on the express orders of Adolf Hitler, one of only two statues in Paris he ordered destroyed.
