Gaudez was born in Lyon, France, on 2 February 1845. He was a pupil of Francois Jouffroy at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1862. He made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1864.[1] Gaudez worked almost exclusively in bronze and he produced a wide array of sculptures, ranging from genre subjects to military and patriotic themes.[2] His earlier work was mostly of a classical nature[3] but in the latter part of his career he produced some sculpture that can be categorized as art nouveau.


Prisoner of war


He was a prisoner of war in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Having first-hand knowledge of the war, he executed a statue in memory of the French prisoners held in Magdeburg by the Prussian forces. The statue was erected in the city's cemetery.[1] He participated in the Paris Salon of 1878 with the plaster sculpture titled Jupiter's Childhood.


Death and legacy


Gaudez died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, on 23 January 1902. He is best known for his monumental sculptures.
