François Jouffroy Totally Explained

Everything about Francois Jouffroy totally explained

François Jouffroy (February 1, 1806, Dijon-Laval, Mayenne, June 25, 1882) was a French sculptor. The son of a baker, he attended the drawing school in Dijon before being admitted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1824. In 1832 he won the Prix de Rome. Jouffroy often had to contend with Pierre-Jean David d’Angers for public commissions, but during the Second Empire (1851–1870) still participated in the decoration of several public buildings.

His best-known work is probably the sculpture “Girl Confiding her Secret to Venus” (1839), which can presently be seen at the Louvre. Among his other works are:

the stone pediment for the Institut des Jeunes Aveugles (1840)

L'Aurore, sculpture at the Montparnasse-Raspail (c. 1870-1875), one of a set of "Times of the Day" by various sculptors
