Alexandre Bust - Blue Empire

Louise and Alexandre were the children of architect Alexandre- Theodore Brongniart (1739-1813), famous for designing the Stock Exchange building in Paris and transforming the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Thanks to his mother who was a painter and his father who was a caretaker at the Louvre museum, Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828) became acquainted at a very early age with the best sculptors of his time, such as Jean Baptiste Pigalle and Jean Baptiste Lemoyne.
