Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau (1834-1917)

Auguste Moreau was a French sculptor, who was born on 22 February 1834 in Dijon and died 11 November 1917 in Malesherbes. He was the third son of the sculptor and painter Jean Baptiste Moreau and the younger brother of the sculptors Hippolyte Moreau and Mathurin Moreau. So it was only natural that he also became an artist too. In 1861 he made his debut at the Salon, where he exhibited regularly until 1913. His subjects were primarily genre scenes, pastorals and allegories. His style was realistic and graceful.
