Jean-Baptiste d'Huez

The sculptors Félix Lecomte, Louis-Philippe Mouchy and Augustin Pajou were commissioned to make statues of the Grand Condé, Maréchal de Luxembourg and Turenne.

[7] Huez's teacher, Jean-Baptiste II Lemoyne (1704–1778), started a group "Poetry crying on the bust of Mr. Crebillon" to commemorate the playwright Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon, but did not complete it.

[9] The group was finally completed during the revolutionary period by a pupil of Alexandre Lenoir and is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon.

Huez was among the sculptors invited to submit sketches for a monument to commemorate the invention, but his submission was not chosen.

[10] Huez died at his home on the Rue des Poulies in Paris on 6 Brumaire II (27 October 1793), aged 65.
