Jules MOIGNIEZ 1835/1894
Jules Moigniez is a French animal sculptor, born on May 28, 1835 in Senlis and died on May 29, 1894 in Saint-Martin-du-Tertre.
His father was a metal gilder. Moigniez was a student of Paul Comolera (1818-1897), a great sculptor specialized in birds. His master was Paul Comolera who was a student of François Rude.
At the age of twenty, Moigniez exhibited his first sculpture, Chien braque arrêtant un faisan, at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1855. He then exhibited regularly at the Salon, from 1859 to 1892, where he received an honorable mention in the first year. He presented his sculptures again at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1878.
Moigniez was successful, particularly in England and the United States. Indeed, his works are judged remarkably detailed, with a very thorough chiseling, completed with an elegance in the attitudes. Faced with the success of his son, his father created a foundry especially for him.
Ill for several years, he committed suicide on May 29, 1894 in Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, where he is buried.
