High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Baron Francois Joseph Bosio (19 March 1769 – 29 July 1845) was a French sculptor who achieved distinction in the first quarter of the nineteenth century with his work for Napoleon and for the restored French monarchy. Louis XVIII made Bosio a Knight of the Order of Saint Michael in 1821 and appointed him premier sculpteur du Roi. In 1828, Bosio saw his grandiose equestrian sculpture of Louis XIV erected in the Place des Victoires in Paris and was made an officer of the Legion d'honneur, France's highest civilian honour. He was made a baron by Charles X in 1825. Though under Louis-Philippe he was stripped of his titles, he continued to receive official commissions, as the ablest portrait sculptor in Paris, and created the statue of Napoleon for the Column of the Grande Armee in 1840 under Napoleon III. He died in Paris.
