Pierre-François-Grégoire Giraud, known as Grégoire Giraud or Giraud du Luc, born March 17, 1783 in Luc (Var), and died February 19, 1836 in Paris, is a French sculptor. Prix de Rome in 1806 and 1811. Strongly influenced by the art of Antiquity, the work of Grégoire Giraud is representative of the neoclassical style, but nevertheless remains marked by the French statuary tradition thanks to the naturalistic study of his models.
