BOUCHARDON, EDME (1698-1762)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 311 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOUCHARDON, EDME (1698-1762) , French sculptor, was esteemed in his day the greatest sculptor of his time. Born at Chaumont, he became the pupil of Guillaume Coustou and gained the prix de Rome in 1722. Resisting the tendency of the day he was classic in his
taste
 , pure and chaste, always correct, charming and distinguished, a
great
  stickler for all the finish that sand-
paper
  could give. During the ten years he remained at Rome, Bouchardon made a striking bust of
Pope
  Benedict XIII. (1730). In 1746 he produced his first acclaimed master-piece, " Cupid fashioning a Bow out of the Club of Hercules," perfect in its grace, but cold in the purity of its classic
design
 . His two other leading chefs-d'oeuvre are the fountain in the rue de Grenelle, Paris, the first portions of which had been finished and exhibited in 1740, and the equestrian statue of Louis XV., a commission from the city of Paris. This superb
work
 , which, when the model was produced, was declared the finest
work
  of its' kind ever produced in France, Bouchardon did not live to finish, but left its completion to Pigalie. It was destroyed during the Revolution.
Among the
chief
  books on the sculptor and his art are Vie d'Edme Bouchardon, by le comte de Caylus (Paris, 1762) ; Notice sur Edme Bouchardon, sculpteur, by E. Jolibois (
Versailles
 , 1837) ; Notice historique sur Edme Bouchardon, by J. Carnandet (Paris, 1855) ; and French Architects and Sculptors of the 28th
Century
 , by Lady Dilke (London, 1900).
