Jean Boucher

Jean Boucher was a French sculptor from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. He is known as a master of monumental fine art.

Jean Boucher is best known for the creation of war memorials, his work now adorns the squares of many cities in France. But the sculptor's creative legacy is not limited to war memorials. Boucher also created many monuments to prominent French people - poets, writers, political and military figures, inventors and aviators. At the 1925 World's Fair, he was awarded the highest award for his invaluable contribution to world art, and by the end of his life he was a full cavalier of the French Legion of Honor.

For many years, Boucher combined his active creative work with the education of his young colleagues. As a full member of the French National Academy of Arts, he willingly shared his knowledge with students and enjoyed great prestige among them. Despite serious health problems, the sculptor actively continued to work until his death.
