BIOGRAPHY :
Hippolyte Moreau, born in Dijon on April 1, 1832 and died in Neuilly-sur-Seine on January 4, 1926, is a French sculptor.
François known as Hippolyte is the second son of the sculptor Jean-Baptiste-Louis-Joseph Moreau and trained in his father's workshop.
With his two brothers Mathurin and Auguste, he moved to Paris to follow the teaching of François Jouffroy at the School of Fine Arts.
From 1863 to 1914, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français where he sent decorative subjects most often inspired by the 18th century. He won a medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 and another at the Universal Exhibition of 1900.
He mainly produces medium-sized works and decorative or everyday objects: vases, statuettes, letter openers, pocket trays in bronze, regula or pewter.
He is the author of the statue of Alexis Claude Clairaut (1880) on one of the facades of the Paris City Hall, rue de Lobau.
Most of his works are kept at the Dijon Museum of Fine Arts.
