Career
Jean Pierre Victor Huguenin was born in Dole, Jura, on 21 February 1802. His father was a musician. Victor Huguenin studied under Jules Ramey at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After teaching at Besançon, he returned to Paris. He exhibited in various exhibitions and received orders from Louis Philippe I for the Museum of the History of France, Versailles, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the courtyard of the Louvre Palace.
Around 1836 Huguenin created a sculpture of Charles VI of France and his mistress Odette de Champdivers.[1] A relatively small work, it was designed to be sold to a rich art-lover who could place it on a table in a salon, or in a cabinet. It was exhibited in the Salon of 1839, and was praised for its composition and its realism.[2]
He undertook a marble statue of Valentina Visconti, Duchess of Orléans (1370-1408), Duchess of Orléans, to an order of 16 January 1843 from the Minister of the Interior. It was exhibited in the Salon of 1846, and is part of the series Queens of France and famous women in the Jardin du Luxembourg.[3] In the late 1850s Huguenin undertook the decoration of the Villa Eugénie, the Biarritz summer home of Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie, with Corinthian columns and reliefs of arms and crowned eagles.[4]
Victor Huguenin died on 8 January 1860 in Paris. A bronze statue of Pasquale Paoli by Huguenin was erected in 1864 the center of the Place Paoli in Corte, Corsica.[5]
