Thomas Boudin

Thomas Boudin (1570 - 24 March 1637) was a French sculptor. He was born and died in Paris.

Life

Born into a family of artists active in Paris and its environs, he lived in the parish of Saint Eustache on rue Montorgueil[1]. His father Guillaume Boudin (1567-1614) and his son Barthélémy Boudin were both also sculptors[2], with the latter named after his godfather Barthélemy Tremblay, a sculptor to the king[1]. His eldest son Guillaume was baptised in 1604, with one of the godfathers being Guillaume Périer, another sculptor to the king[1].

He was apprenticed to Mathieu Jacquet in 1584 and remained in his studio until 1595. He was made official sculptor to the king in 1606 and in 1607-1608 he had two daughters. He was one of the signatories of the statutes of the community of master painters and sculptors as revised on 16 January 1619.
