Biography:
Jean-Baptiste Pigalle studied under J.B. Lemoyne in France before traveling to Rome from 1736 to 1740. While a student, he suffered from illness and poverty but his life took a turn for the better after his acceptance into the Academie Royale in 1744. His talent and versatility made him one of the leading French sculptors. He was praised for his small genre pieces and his tomb sculpture. Pigalle’s most famous sculptures are his nude figure of Voltaire and the tomb of Maurice of Saxony in Strasbourg.
