About this person
Pierre Julien was a French sculptor. He studied under Guillaume Coustou the Younger and in 1765 won a Prix de Rome. He later attended the French Academy in Rome before returning to Paris, where on his second attempt he was admitted to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. Charles Claude Flahaut, Count of Angiviller, commissioned him to produce life-size sculptures of Jean de La Fontaine and Nicolas Poussin. Another commission from the Count of Angiviller saw Julien create the decorative scheme for a dairy at Rambouillet, designed for Marie-Antoinette. This included a sculpture of the Greek mythological figure Amalthea as well as friezes and medallions.
