    * Antoine Bovy (1795 -1877)
    is a Swiss sculptor and medalist naturalized French. In 1824, he was sent to Paris to study with the sculptor James Pradier, a professor at the École supérieure des beaux-arts. In 1831, he brought his family to the French capital; from that year, he exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon, until 1865. In 1835, he was naturalized French and won a gold medal in engraving. In 1843, he was named a knight of the Legion of Honor. His brothers, Marc-Louis, director of the Geneva Mint, and Jules, struck the medals engraved by Antoine; they had formed the company Bovy Frères et Cie.
