Visited Bridan's studio, but the early death of his father forced
him to make a living by making technical drawings. In 1811 he
made a statue of Napoleon as legislator for the École de Droit
in Paris (it's now in Versailles). Other work: the monument
for Joséphine de Beauharnais at Rueil-Malmaison and statues
of general Pichegru, general Valhubert and Louis XV. From his
school sprang the sculptors Rude, Dumont and Lemaire.
