Louis Simon Boizot (1743-1809) was a French sculptor, renowned for his major contributions to Neoclassical art in the 18th century. Born in Paris, he studied at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, where he became familiar with the classical ideals of Greece and Rome. His career was particularly distinguished by his role as chief sculptor at the Manufacture de porcelaine de Sèvres, where he created several iconic works, such as the famous Groupe des Trois Grâces, a symbol of the neoclassical aesthetic. In addition to his porcelain creations, he also created monumental sculptures for public spaces in Paris, including the Palais Royal. His style, characterized by pure lines, harmonious proportions and great attention to the beauty of the human body, reflected the ideals of the Enlightenment: clarity, reason and balance.
