Artist Bio:
Jules Moigniez’s father was a metal glider. He wholeheartedly supported his son’s pursuit of art. For this reason, most of Moigniez’s bronzes were actually cast by his father in a foundry established in 1857. Moigniez’s foundry also cast the bronzes of a few other, select artists. His father, just like Moigniez, was a meticulous worker, focusing much attention to detail. The bronzes stand out from the work of many others of the time period in that many of them were embellished. They didn’t always have the standard finish. For example, some were gilded or silver plated. Many bore unusual finishes. It became a Moigniez trademark. Other artists would later follow in the trend that Moigniez started.

In 1869, at the age of 34, Moigniez became very ill. Unfortunately, he never recovered. He stopped producing new sculptures, and in 1894, he committed suicide. After Moigniez’s death, his father continued to keep his son’s legacy alive by casting his son’s works. When Moigniez’s father passed away, Aususte Gouge bought the plasters and models. He had cast most of Paul Comolera’s works (Moigniez’s instructor). Gouge produced Moigniez’s sculptures for several more years. Moigniez will be remembered as a truly talented anamalier sculptor.

Because of his popularity, pieces by Moigniez do exist in the United States; however a Moigniez signature does not guarantee that the bronze is the work of the artist. In fact, some of the bronzes bearing the signature of Moigniez have been found to be the work of a California artist named Max Turner. In the 1960s, an art dealer added the Moigniez signature to many of his pieces to boost sales. It is highly possible that the work of Turner is actually partly responsible for helping solidify Moigniez’s reputation as such a renowned anamalier sculptor. less
