Armand Bloch

Armand Lucien Bloch (1 July 1866, Montbéliard - 5 March 1932, Paris) was a French sculptor.

His father, Maurice Bloch, was a sculptor, who established a metal casting company in 1857.

He entered the École des Beaux-Arts in 1884, where he studied with the sculptors Alexandre Falguière and Antonin Mercié.

[1] His studio was in Paris, but he maintained close ties with Montbéliard, where his brothers Léon and Julien had taken over the family business.

His bronze statue for the martyr, François-Jean de la Barre (1905), was originally at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, but was transferred to the Square Nadar [fr] in 1926.
