Paul Dubois

Paul Dubois, also known as Paul Dubois-Pigalle, was a 19th- and early 20th-century French sculptor and teacher. He is known as a master of neoclassicism. Paul Dubois also painted portraits, but he was less successful in this field. His sculptures are now in museums in France and also decorate the squares of Paris and Reims.

Paul Dubois was on his mother's side the grandson of the famous French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Pigalle and, as a sign of homage to his ancestor, he signed his creations "Dubois-Pigalle" early in his career.

Dubois held an honorary position as curator of the Musée du Luxembourg and for 27 years was head of the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. For his services to France, the sculptor was repeatedly awarded the highest state honors, in particular, he won all five degrees of the Legion of Honor.
