Augustin Pajou
French sculptor, born on September 19, 1730 in Paris. At the age of 14 he entered Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne’s studio. Then in 1752 he went to Rome to undertake the traditional study period; that year Charles Natoire became the director of the Académie de France in Rome. Natoire remarked that Pajou did not study the Antique sufficiently, and from the sixty-some sheets of drawings from Pajou’s Roman period (now in Princeton) there are few inspired by Greco-Roman an (showing 500 of 8896 characters). |
