Adrien Etienne GAUDEZ 1845 / 1902:

Adrien Étienne Gaudez born in Lyon on February 9, 1845 and died in Neuilly-sur-Seine on January 23, 1902 is a French sculptor.
Gaudez was a student of François Jouffroy at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1862. He made his debut at the Salon 2 years later.
Prisoner of war in Magdeburg during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, we owe him in particular the monument in memory of the French prisoners of this city.
He is also the author of Florian d’Alès, the war memorial of Remiremont, etc.
At the Salon his bronzes are few in number
