Hippolyte François Moreau was a French sculptor from the renowned sculpting dynasty of Jean-Baptiste Moreau. Born in 1832 in Dijon, France, the son of the renowned sculptor Jean-Baptiste, he grew up in his father's studio.
As a young man, Moreau moved to Paris to continue his studies under François Jouffroy at the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts, first exhibiting at the Salon des artistes français in 1863 and continuing to exhibit there until 1914.
Most of his work consists of charming figurines of children and young women, mostly allegorical, often featuring the same subjects as those of his brother Auguste.
In 1878 and 1900, he won medals for his work—large-scale decorative pieces such as vases and statuettes—at the Paris World's Fair. Among his notable sculptures is his 1880 statue of the famous French mathematician Alexis Clairaut, which now permanently occupies one of the facades of Paris City Hall. He died in 1927 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, and several of his works are now housed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon.
