Barthélémy-François Chardigny (1757-1813) was a French sculptor. He designed public sculptures in Marseille.
Early life
Barthélémy-François Chardigny was born on September 4, 1757, in Rouen, France. [1] [2] He learned sculpture under Augustin Pajou. [2]
Career
Chardigny was a sculptor. He won the Prix de Rome in sculpture in 1782. [2]
Chardigny moved to Aix-en-Provence to design sculptures for the Palace of Justice in 1784. [2] He designed marble sculptures of King René and King Henry IV, a sculpture of the Greek mythology figure Venus, two fountains, a large sculpture with three figures, and another sculpture named Despotisme renversé. [2] However, they were removed during the French Revolution, and moved to the Ecole Centrale (then in Aix and later moved to Marseille) in 1802. [2]
Chardigny moved to Marseille, where he was commissioned a statue representing Liberty for the townhall in 1798. [2] He subsequently designed the same statue for many townhalls. [2] Meanwhile, he was commissioned other public sculptures by the city of Marseille. [2] For example, he designed the fountain on the Place des Capucines, then known as the place des fainéants; it was later dismantled and replaced with another fountain designed by Dominique Fossati, although the basin remains Chardigny's. [2] Meanwhile, Chardigny became a member of the Académie de Marseille in 1800. [1]
Chardigny moved to Paris in 1808, where he designed sculptures of Juno and Jupiter in the Louvre Palace. [2]
Personal life, death and legacy
Chardigny married and had a son, Pierre Joseph Chardigny, in 1794. [2] He died on March 3, 1813, in Paris. [1] Eight of his sculptures are in the permanent collection of the Musée des beaux-arts de Marseille, [3] while more sculptures are held at the Musée Granet in Aix-en-Provence. [4] [5]
