GUILLAUME, JEAN BAPTISTE CLAUDE EUGENE (1822-1905) , French sculptor, was born at Montbard on the 4th of July 1822, and studied under Cavelier, Millet, and Barrias, at the lcole des
Beaux
 -Arts, which he entered in 1841, and where he gained the prix de Rome in 1845 with " Theseus finding on arock his Father's Sword." He became director of the 1 cole des
Beaux
 -Arts in 1864, and director-general of Fine Arts from 1878 to 1879, when the office was suppressed. Many of his works have been bought for public galleries, and his monuments are to be found in the public squares of the
chief
  cities of France. At Rheims there is his bronze statue of " Colbert," at Dijon his " Rameau "
monument
 . The Luxembourg Museum has his "
Anacreon
  " (1852), " Les Gracques " (1853), " Faucheur
(1855), and the
marble
  bust of " Mgr Darboy "; the
Versailles
  Museum the portrait of "
Thiers
  "; the Sorbonne Library the
marble
  bust of "
Victor
  le Clerc, doyen de la faculte des lettres." Other works of his are at Trinity Church, St Germain l'Auxerrois, and the church of St Clotilde, Paris. Guillaume was a prolific writer, principally on sculpture and architecture of the Classic period and of the Italian Renaissance. He was elected member of the Academie Francaise in 1862, and in 1891 was sent to Rome as director of the Academie de France in that city. He was also elected an honorary member of the Royal
Academy
 , London, 1869, on the institution of that class.
