GUILLAUME BOICHOT

Boichot (30 August 1735 - 9 December 1814) was both a painter and a sculptor but mainly produced sculptures.  Today his many extant Neoclassical drawings are admired above all.  Although a student of Simon Challe (1719-1765) in Paris, Boichot is regarded primarily as self-taught.  An art lover named Barault took Boichot under his wing.  The young student admired Michelangelo and Raphael and read Leonardo's treatises and visited a surgeon to study anatomy. But his father advised him to become a sculptor and architect, and to abandon painting.  Early on, Boichot did decorative paintings in the private town house of Guichard-Pontheret.  At the Academy Boichot attained the rank of agréé in 1788 with Diomedes Carrying off the Palladium, and a year later he became a full academician.  On the other hand, he lost the coveted Grand Prix but went to Italy anyway, where English patrons had him execute copies of Antique sculpture.&   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 5153 characters.]  Artist bio
