Charles-François Lebœuf

Charles-François Lebœuf , called Nanteuil (9 August 1792 – 1 November 1865) was a French sculptor.

Career Born in Paris, he studied with Pierre Cartellier at the École des Beaux-Arts, winning the Grand Prix de Rome in Sculpture in 1817 with a gypsum figure of Agis, Dying by His Own Arms. The prize included a period of study at the Villa Medici of the French Academy in Rome, where Nanteuil carved the marble statue Dying Eurydice (1822), which he exhibited in Paris in his highly successful debut at the Salon of 1824. The statue is now in the Musée du Louvre. This work later inspired Auguste Clésinger's Woman Bitten by a Snake (1847, Musée d'Orsay).
