Hippolyte Moreau :
Hippolyte Moreau was born in Dijon in 1832 and died in Neuilly sur Seine in 1926.
He was the second son of sculptor Jean-Baptiste-Louis-Joseph Moreau, and trained in his father's studio.
Along with his two brothers Mathurin and Auguste, he moved to Paris to study under François Jouffroy at the École des Beaux-Arts.
From 1863 to 1914, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he sent decorative subjects mostly inspired by the 18th century. He won a medal at the 1878 Universal Exhibition and another at the 1900 one.
He mainly produced medium-sized works and decorative objects in bronze, regula or pewter.
He was responsible for the statue of Alexis Claude Clairaut (1880) on one of the facades of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris.
Most of his works are kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon.
