He then joined the Royal School of Protected Students. This success will also allow him to leave for Rome in 1765 where he will stay for five years at the Académie de France. Approved by the Academy upon his return to France, however, he did not become an academician until 1778 with a statue of Méléagre. In 1773, he exhibited at the Salon.He was appointed professor at the School of Fine Arts on December 21, 1805, and was replaced by Philippe-Laurent Roland, in 1809 and member of the Institute. of Russia while in Rome, Boizot worked mainly for the French capital, mainly creating sculpted decorations for public buildings such as the Palais Bourbon (1772), the Church of Sainte-Geneviève (1776-1777) or the Saint-Sulpice church (1777-1787). In 1783, the Count d'Angiviller asked him, as part of the series of portraits of the “Great Men”, for a statue of Racine. Queen Marie Antoinette ordered two busts from him, among others: one of Louis XVI, the other of his brother the Emperor of Austria Joseph II. Boizot however acquired a certain notoriety when he succeeded, in 1774, as a replacement. of the sculptor Falconet at the head of the sculpture workshops of the Manufacture de Sèvres. Until 1785, he created small allegorical models according to the new neoclassical canons which contrasted with the elegant and graceful tradition that prevailed until then.The photos are an integral part of the description.Dimensions: Height: 35 cmDiameter: 19, 2 cmWidth: 23.5 cmP: 673605 I remain at your disposal for any questions.
