Jean Goujon Biography
(b c. 1510; d ?Bologna, c. 1565). French sculptor, illustrator and architect. He was one of the great masters of relief sculpture. Through his collaboration with the architect Pierre Lescot he was involved in many major building projects, and in his refined relief sculptures, such as the carved panels for the Fountain of the Innocents, Paris (see fig. 1), he achieved a highly personal synthesis between the mannered style of the FONTAINEBLEAU SCHOOL and a classicism derived from his study of antique sculpture. He illustrated with skilful and lively wood-engravings Jean Baptiste Martin I’s first complete French translation (Paris, 1547) of Vitruvius, De architectura: Architecture ou art de bien bastir , an edition that was to have considerable influence on the revival of the classical style in France.
