Clodion (1738-1814) was a prominent French sculptor and decorative artist known for his intricate and expressive works in the Rococo style. Born as Claude Michel in Nancy, France, he adopted the pseudonym "Clodion" to distance himself from his family's tradition of working as stonemasons. Clodion began his artistic training under his uncle, Claude Joseph Voinçon, a renowned sculptor. He later moved to Paris, where he studied at the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture.

Clodion (1738-1814) was a prominent French sculptor and decorative artist known for his intricate and expressive works in the Rococo style. Born as Claude Michel in Nancy, France, he adopted the pseudonym "Clodion" to distance himself from his family's tradition of working as stonemasons. Clodion began his artistic training under his uncle, Claude Joseph Voinçon, a renowned sculptor. He later moved to Paris, where he studied at the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. During this time, he was greatly influenced by the works of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle and Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne. His early sculptures primarily focused on mythological and allegorical themes, often depicting scenes from classical antiquity. Clodion's mastery of the medium allowed him to create dynamic compositions that captured the essence of movement and emotion. His works were characterized by their intricate details, delicate forms, and a sense of whimsicality. Clodion's talent quickly gained recognition, and he received numerous commissions from prominent patrons, including members of the French royal court. His sculptures adorned the interiors of palaces, châteaux, and grand residences, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to the spaces. One of Clodion's most notable contributions to decorative arts was his work in terracotta. He revolutionized the medium, elevating it from a mere material for preparatory models to a medium of artistic expression in its own right. Clodion's terracotta sculptures showcased his ability to capture the texture and nuances of various materials, such as cloth, flesh, and foliage. Throughout his career, Clodion collaborated with renowned furniture designers and architects, contributing his sculptural expertise to their projects. His sculptures were often incorporated into furniture, chimneypieces, and other decorative elements, further enhancing their aesthetic appeal. Clodion's work had a significant impact on the development of the Neoclassical style, bridging the gap between the Rococo and the emerging trends of the late 18th century. His influence extended beyond France, with his works being sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts throughout Europe. Despite experiencing a decline in popularity during the French Revolution, Clodion continued to create sculptures until his death in 1814. Today, his works can be found in prestigious museums and private collections worldwide, testaments to his enduring legacy as a master of Rococo sculpture and
