About Jean-Jacques Feuchère

1807–1852 • France

Feuchère was the primary artist working in small-scale, domestic sculpture in the first half of the 19th century. His statuettes are rendered in a variety of historical styles, though he preferred a Renaissance idiom. Feuchère was involved in many of the sculptural projects of the July Monarchy. He is also noted for the private art collection he amassed; it included paintings by such Italian masters as Leonardo and Raphael, as well as paintings by Dutch masters and contemporary French artists.
