François Jouffroy

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.
