Claude Michel, also known as Clodion, was a French sculptor born in Nancy in 1738. He was known for his small-scale terracotta sculptures depicting mythological and allegorical scenes. Clodion was part of the Rococo movement, which emphasised decorative and ornate designs. Clodion studied with his father, a sculptor, before moving to Paris to study with the sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam. He quickly gained recognition for his work and was admitted to the prestigious Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1762. Clodion's sculptures were often playful and erotic, depicting nymphs, satyrs and other mythological figures in various states of undress. He was particularly adept at capturing movement and emotion in his works, which were often highly detailed and intricate. Despite his success, Clodion struggled financially throughout his career. He relied on commissions from wealthy patrons and often had to sell his works at a low price to make ends meet. He died in Paris in 1814, leaving a legacy as one of the most important sculptors of the Rococo period.
