Louis-Simon Boizot

Louis-Simon Boizot was a French artist of the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries. He is known as a sculptor of the neoclassical style. Boizot was widely famous for the production of busts of prominent people of France and multi-figure sculptural compositions of Sevres porcelain.

Louis-Simon Boizot is the most famous representative of the family dynasty of artists. His father Antoine Boizot was a painter and his younger sister, Marie-Louise-Adelaide Boizot, a draftsman and engraver. Louis-Simon Boizot enjoyed the special patronage of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antoinette, while the Russian Empress Catherine II personally ordered original porcelain pieces from the master.

Boizot was also often engaged in the manufacture of sculptural decorations for the public buildings of Paris - churches and palaces. He mastered the techniques of processing a variety of materials and created masterpieces not only of marble, but also of porcelain and bronze.

In 1805 Boizot was appointed head of the French National Academy of Arts.
