|
Brief Biography-Edmé Bouchardon, sculptor and draughtsman, was born in Chaumont-en-Bassigny in 1698; his father, Jean-Baptiste, first taught him, and he later became a disciple of Guillaume Coustou, the Elder. His most famous extant work is the Fountain of Four Seasons in Paris’s rue de Grenelle. He was the first artist to introduce the neoclassical style of sculpture to France, which he learned over nine years in Rome. His brother, Jacques-Philippe, was also a sculptor. |
