Jules MOIGNIEZ 1835/1894
Jules Moigniez was 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 pupil of Paul Comolera (1818-1897), a leading sculptor specializing in birds. His master was Paul Comoléra, a pupil of François Rude.
At the age of twenty, Moigniez exhibited his first sculpture Chien braque arrêtant un faisan at the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris. He exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1859 to 1892, winning an honorable mention in his first year. He exhibited his sculptures again at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1878.
Moigniez enjoyed success, particularly in England and the United States. Indeed, his works were judged to be remarkably detailed, with very thorough chiseling, complemented by elegant attitudes. In view of his son's success, his father set up a foundry especially for him.
Ill for several years, he committed suicide on May 29, 1894 at Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, where he is buried.
