Clodion, whose real name was Claude Michel (1738-1814), was a French sculptor who lived in Rome between 1762 and 1771. There he studied classical Roman sculpture, as well as the work of Michelangelo and Bernini. He specialised in terracotta and became a master of a style that was both intimate and dynamic.
